Default Anyone with an aftermarket exhaust experience this?

Now of course I expected to get more attention after installing an aftermarket exhaust/test pipe a year ago, but now it's starting to get ridiculous. Now if I even attempt to slightly get on the car, 9/10 there's some jackass who proceeds to drive like an asshole around me. Anyone else with an aftermarket exhaust have this happen frequently to them?

Yup, just made a thread about a similar experience myself. Never had this issue with my last loud S, but sure as hell do in my new one...

Sometimes I just find it hilarious though, even people in grocery getters act like they're trying to race me or cut me off as I just tap down on the peddle at like 25-30% from a stop because of the noise (hasn't happened before).

I get this all the time. Everyone wants to test me. I'm just trying to get in the next lane and the assholes speed up and try to not let me in or they think I'm trying to race them. I'm driving civilly and courteously and they think my every move is a race. I'm driving 70mph and I see idiots zooming up in my rear view mirror. They get next to me, then pace me near my quarter panel, and when I try to get over on the next lane to exit the freeway, they think I'm starting a race. Shit happens all the time in SoCal.

Hasn't happened to me yet. I guess it would depend on how loud your exhaust is and the way you drive it...and the location.

LOL this thread made me laugh reading about other people that have this done to them. I agree most people around here drive like assholes, I drive with my top down (I.E. its easier for me to locate them), and I make a quick lane shift after i'm 2 cars clear of their front bumper.

I mostly get rusted out, slammed hella-flush guys come close to my car and try and push me to a race... I ignore them.

I'm running a Challenge 76TA-S exhaust and its not all that loud at cruising speed though.
