Straight pipe/Test pipe help!

1779 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  6speed
I just bought my first car, a Vw 2001 gti vr6, but i bought it very cheap from a guy who used to use it for racing and the car is really loud. I don't know much about cars but i think it has a a straight/test pipe installed which i could get in trouble for driving it in the streets so I've heard. Can any one tell me what my options are? How much will it cost to get all that fixed?

Also the guy gave me some piece he welded off the car. He said it made the car faster taking that off.

Ill post pictures/ a video tomorrow if someone can please tell me what the hell it is.

Depends on your budget man. I think the noise limit on cars in most places is around 95dB, so you could see what your levels are before doing anything. If it does fail, then I think you'll have to get a new exhaust system.
