i am much older and i scare people who scare little old ladies. go with the quieter mufflers and keep your money for stuff other than fines and court costs. besides, it's much more fun when people are not really sure what you have under the hood. a good running 6 can make a suprising amount of power. head down to the local drag strip and put it to those v-8 guys once in awhile. i saw a dodge omni beat the snot out of a corvette a few years back.. the vette guy wasn't doing any braggin', and left with his tail between his legs. i thought that was pretty kool.
