Holes in exhaust?

[Leesfer]

Just a question out of curiosity... what would happen if you were to put holes into the exhaust pipe before the muffler?

Would it do damage? No doubt it would be extremely loud...

Pretty loud alright. But other than that, you'd most likely get exhaust gasses pulled into the passenger cabin. If past experience is any indicator.

plus, premature failure due to rust.

Okay...what would happen if like I put little dabs of super sticky glue every 6 inches on my steering wheel? Would
I have more control over my car? Or would i have to switch to an auto trans?
Oh...I live in "Sun Diego"..wha? huh?
hehe

I realize it was a seemingly rediculous question but I was wonder more about a loss of backpessure and maybe a causing of backfiring

[rlux4]

Two things, (1) back in the day we used to put glasspacks on, practically zero backpressure, practically zero sound supression. (2) the Spiders I've seen with a modified exhaust system all seem to have backfiring during compression-deacceleration. And (3) (I know I said two, but hey, I'm on a roll here) I don't know how much those of us who have to pass smog testing can get away with.

smog? we dun need no stinkin' smog test in Meecheegun !!

our smog dun stink

[pope]

Not only does it not stink, but we dont have any.

[rlux4]

I'm not sure we have any either, outside of the LA basin. But it's another way for the state to make money.
I did a stint working at UCLA, and one of my buildings was atmospheric sciences, they had a sign on the door of thier main lab: "Smuck Fog". Cracked me up.
