    i cut my exhaust on my vt commodore to make it louder for now because i cant afford to get a sports exhaust at the moment. is this bad ? will it wreck my car in any way at all ? will it cause any problems ?

    ahh. where did you cut it.

    Youll probably cop a defect- either for noise or because your exhaust now doesnt end 'outside' the boundaries of the car. replace the cut section of your exhaust with a straight through pipe for now. Metal pipe, that is. Dont zip tie it up. dont use insulation tape either. Welding is preferable, if you cant do that use clamps.

    Might aswell take a pipe to the inside of the cat while you're at it.

    There really needs to be some sort of I.Q test incorporated with a driver license application.

    This forum needs a "pool room" section for failthreads.

    Hope you didn't cut the exhaust too close to the plastic fuel tank... :flame:

    The fine and rectification after the defect is more than a sports exhaust will cost. Just leave it until you can afford one.

    Some people must have bad luck with cops
    I removed the tail pipe put the tip back on put a fake turbo in and no cops yet but it does sound good for now until I can get my new exhaust put on

    It's a Clayton's turbo (for those who can remember back that far).
    "It's a turbo you have without having a turbo".
