OK, now that's officially worse than my 77 Nova exhaust from back in high school: My exhaust pipe rusted off, so I took a soup can and a Dole pineapple can, punched a bunch of holes in them with a hammer & nail, put the soup can inside the slightly larger pineapple can, and clamped them onto the manifold.
I had never heard that car so quiet.
Dude, I can't believe you've done that for over a 1000 miles.
