yea its a fail, and you would be driving an ilegal car
therefore not insured ether.. but anyway

does sound louder yes, but the general idea is to do it not so its louder its so its not restricting the exhuast gasses to free up more power.
best done with other mods like a better breathing intake and a straight thru exhuast
