I feel most of the time it's someone looking for some sort of attention and some who just enjoy the sound. It definitely adds to the feel of driving a powerful vehicle. I grew up in a small rural time, so there were plenty of trucks that had been straightpiped. Personally I won't ever do it, because I prefer the idea of silent power and being more conscious of pollution (emission and noise) I can turn down the radio, but the exhaust is always working with the truck running. To each his own, I don't judge just by a vehicle being straightpiped, but more of how that vehicle is being driven. If you're flooring it from every stop then yeah you just want attention.

I had straight pipes on my VW GTi. My muffler fell off and I had ordered a new cat back system. The pipe was just installed so it wouldn't drag the converter and stuff. Cops didn't car and gave me a $260 ticket.

My boss has straight pipe mustang, always got warnings. Never a ticket.

I heard a BBC with straight pipes. And shit that fucker sounded mean.

If it's worth building, it's worth over building.

Happy medium would be some performance mufflers. Still quieter than straight pipes, but growly.

Yeah well flooring a straight piped truck down my neighborhood road in the middle of the night is not getting any positive attention. Yeah, I agree there's nothing wrong with wanting attention, but when it overtakes common courtesy and decency...I never said it was necessarily bad, just it's pretty obvious when someone is looking for it.
