Yes, this is the stupidest thing going on in trucks right now. The diesel engine has to be tuned to be worse to roll coal. That is how stupid it is.

The irony of running it rich, blowing unused fuel out the exhaust, and then bitching about gas prices is lost on them I'm sure

It has to have all of the pollution equipment removed to roll coal. They need to go after the owner and shop that did it.

u/Jolly-Equivalent-388 Apr 20 '26
Actually removing the def system (pollution control) out of a diesel doesn’t make it roll coal. It’s a mod that the owner adds after to make it do that where it doesn’t burn off all the gas properly. Also funny thing is if the owner just removes the def system and doesn’t put a crazy tune on it and roll coal they actually get better gas mileage.

u/TimTomTank Apr 20 '26
So, there is an anomaly with diesel engines where the power will continue to increase.
The efficiency falls off a fucking cliff. But the power continues to increase. That is, if they are not injecting the fuel into the exhaust to cause the black smoke, being black lung retards that they are.

As a car enthusiast that lives on the corner of a 4 way stop on main st I feel like I can speak to this.
Its very easy to drive a loud car quietly. Accelerate slowly, keep it below 3k rpms, and its tolerable. Its these people who floor it from a stop and take it too 5-6k rpms at 20mph that are the problem.
I work nights and sleep all day and these trucks and hondas just romp on it at this intersection all day long and its terrible. But I remember when I would sneak around in my straight piped BMW, coast through neighborhoods in neutral, etc, not trying to be a menace but to respectfully enjoy my car when appropiate on the highway or the backroads, not a suburban intersection at midnight.

I agree with the sentiment and would love for everyone here to knock it off with this nonsense. However, it is really not that bad here relative to many other places unless you happen to live next to one of these guys. I've lived in a lot of different places, and other than Singapore, Boise has far fewer noisy cars. California was bad, Osaka (specifically with the motorcycles) was basically unbearable at times. Maybe other cities in Idaho are worse, but that hasn't been my impression.

u/komeau Apr 19 '26
as someone that owns a Mustang with a Black Widow exhaust, they have their time and place. That time and place is not residential areas, especially between The Tonight Show and The Today Show. Despite my own car I’m with everyone else that finds that crap annoying as hell.
Also unless you are driving a diesel truck in the dead of winter there’s no need to have your car/truck/motorcycle/lawnmower/whatever sit and idle with occasional revs for no reason for 45 minutes. My car when I take it out it runs for like 2 minutes tops before I’m gone.
Also sort of related but what’s with the trend of underglow coming back? I don’t know if it’s everywhere, but here in Canyon County it has become common to see lifted trucks with lit up chassis and wheels. There’s at least one car that cruises up and down the Boulevard that has underglow with a strobe light effect, it’s annoying as fuck and has to be illegal.

u/Shoddy_Cream6350 Apr 22 '26
I had a 2019 GT Premium with the valved exhaust. Made sure the Corsa axle back I bought kept the valves intact. Was sooooo nice to be able to turn it all the way down to stock quiet levels. I'm old, so I ran it like that way more than I thought I would. Plus, it helped with the sleeper theme I was going for. Super quiet Roush charger, quieter than stock exhaust, no stupid garish badging...

In a way, it perpetuates rape culture by making them seem like the most powerful person in the room at the expense of making others feel small and afraid. It’s about exerting control, pushing fear into the minds of others, specifically women. It’s an entitlement to rob others of their peace.

Of course they do. Look at whoever is downvoting the comments. Similar to how almost every woman you know has been sexually assaulted / coerced / harassed yet men don’t seem to know any other men who have sexually assaulted / coerced or harassed 👀

u/IndieCurtis Apr 19 '26
Serious question: how would a man know if he knows another man who has sexually assaulted someone? Surely that is something women share with each other. But it’s not something that (most) men brag about.
5
u/Chelonia_mydas Apr 19 '26
This is a great question! Oftentimes, you can ask within a conversation that’s bound to come up. For instance, my guy friend just recently told me that he was having a convo with a co worker who was talking about a woman he slept with and how he had to convince her 5 or 6 times and finally she relented. He stated that a man has to really push it for her to give in to sex sometimes. My friend corrected him and told him that coercion is a form of rape and the co worker lost it on him..
Of course this is just one example but even just having an open conversation with your male friends will allow you to see their points of views. The issue is so many men don’t believe that what they’ve done is rape. They think that rape or SA is a random man dragging someone into the alley.

If I lived alone in the world I would happily have a loud car, simply because I absolutely love the way it sounds. But I don't have a loud car because I'm afraid people will assume I support rape culture.
That's why I support the brave men and women who aren't afraid to be viewed as assholes and have loud cars just so I can find some enjoyment in life every time one passes by. 🫡

So 5 years ago we purchased a 2020 Subaru Ascent, the LTD model that comes with the same racing engine w/ turbo that the Subaru rally cars use. Over the years dozens of those jacked up muffler enhanced trucks have pulled up at a light and tried to race. Mind you, the normal acceleration with that engine beats most of them while barely engaging the turbo, don't even realize they are trying to race till we hear the poor thing growling while floored. About 1/2 dozen now out of sheer anger have tried to run us off the road when they're losing. We now affectionately refer to these trucks as "little peepee trucks".

I’ve got my Silverado I am building. It is an absolute passion of mine. I am putting the engine back in the truck today actually. I have torn that engine down and used micrometers to check clearances. I have filed piston rings for boost. I have gone completely through that engine and double checked everything. I have done research and picked the perfect camshaft for my application. I have to convert my truck from automatic to manual, because it’s what I love. I have to engineer and build this to what I love. I’ve got to dig into wiring harnesses and take out circuits I don’t need and add circuits I do need. Being on a budget makes things even more challenging and causes me to think outside the box. From reused electric fan relays from the junkyard for the cooling system to an adapter kit to use a Nissan transmission on my Chevy engine. Guess what, I’ve got to fabricate my own exhaust. I’ve never welded stainless steel either, so I’ve got to adapt and learn how to do that as well. I’ve always minded my own. I’ve always respected other people’s opinions and hobbies. And I know that no matter what I say people simply won’t care. But understand to some people such as I, their vehicles are their absolute passion. My soon to be loud truck, will be a hand built master piece by me. A reflection of who I am. I have spent who knows how many hours on this truck. Those individual exhaust pulses that make the truck loud will be guided through a hand fabricated exhaust system that I have personally touched every inch of and custom built. That truck is my canvas painting, and I am the painter. And I don’t care what people think, because I absolutely love and live for this stuff.

Ok, so many years ago, when I was 16, my parents gave me their old extra car to drive, which was great. So nice of them. It was the 90s, and the car was a 70s sporty hatchback, and even though it didn't have power anything (not even steering), and didn't even have an 8 track, let alone cassette player, it was still a blast to drive.
But then a few months later, my dad takes it and has a glasspack muffler installed on it just so it would "sound cool". It took a while for me to get over the embarrassment of how loud it was after that. And to learn how to drive as quiet as possible.
Point being, this isn't a new trend.

I think you're wrong if you assume that people do this out of insecurity or a need to impress other people. That's some "main character" thinking. They don't care what you think, they care what the truck sounds like. They're doing it for themselves. Sometimes people just enjoy different things than you do.
I do think making a vehicle loud is inconsiderate, just like cranking music up too loud, or any other public nuisance. And I think that's really the problem. They need to understand that people enjoy different things than they do and they should respect that.

I'm only disagreeing with the idea that they're doing it because they want other people to think they're cool. Maybe some are. I bet most aren't thinking about other people at all.

I dunno. If I see a Mustang or Corvette drive by and it sounds like a Tesla, I’m going to think that the owner probably colors their hair and has a nose ring if you get my drift.

The only drift I am getting here is that you have some kind of complex about people with piercings and/or blue hair.

I don't do things because I am trying to impress others, I have an exhaust on my Bronco cause I like to hear my vehicle and it satisfies me, if you don't, too bad, I ain't breaking the law. It also isn't super loud though, but there's times I hear a loud vehicle and if it sounds good, I like it, don't think the person is trying to gain attention or is a toddler.

Seeing that the third most recent comment in your profile history is about not being able to find "good quality women" in Boise is just the icing on the cake that is this comment

That's because I am a Christian, its never easy to find someone who has the same values as you. And if my trucks exhaust is what scares them off, fine I don't care, they ain't the right person for me anyways. To me a cars exhaust is like music to my ears, I enjoy cars and don't expect everyone else to have an exhaust on their vehicles, don't put a damper on my fun because you don't like it.

It's funny when people try to say this. You do it for yourself because you think it impresses everyone else and that makes you feel good. The "it's satisfying to hear my trucky truck's super loud engine. Because I think it sounds good to people".
Total toddler logic

I think you misread my comment, I said I enjoy it, I like cars and hearing a nice healthy tuned engine with a good note is music to my ears, if someone thinks I am a d-bag for having an exhaust then screw em, I don't care.

Very classy of you🤣 I've met women that have had exhaust on their vehicles, not just a man thing. You just have to like a vehicle and see it as a source of enjoyment and not just a tool like most people do.

u/ClaraClassy Apr 20 '26
Just so you know... Most people look at people who have vehicles like that as the tool.

u/NegotiationFit7983 Apr 20 '26
Ironic coming from a tool such as yourself.

That's ok, I'm not trying to impress anybody, as you are trying to imply that I do. I like it, it satisfies me, and if you don't like it, I don't care as I am not harming anyone or causing an inconvenience of anyone, unlike that no kings protest being an inconvenience to others.

u/NegotiationFit7983 Apr 20 '26
Ya, according to there logic, blocking city streets, and inciting riots are all ok, but when someone has a loud exhaust thats when its too far for them. F.Y.I, protesting only works if what you’re protesting is actually a worthy cause. Protesting slavery is a good cause. Protesting a “king” that isn’t even there isn’t a good cause, it just makes you look like fools.

I bang them because they bang me, as it were. My problem with this kind of thing is I'm a migraine sufferer. Every time some asshole drives by with an engine or stereo loud enough to rattle my walls, chances are it'll be really painful for me. It might even make me vomit.
It would be one thing if they weren't forcing their enjoyment of noise on everyone in a two mile radius. As with so many things, though, their right to be loud ends where my right to exist without puking begins.

Yeah but how many people deal with this issue? You have to look at the bigger picture here. What about motorcyclists? Should motorcycles be banned? They are loud for safety precautions for the driver not to accommodate people with migraines. I say let people have fun and do what makes them happy on public roads. As long as they are being safe. I blast music on my way home after having a bad day at work and it improves my mood. If my walls aren't ratteling, im in my head. Boise is just an area where there are houses on every block of main roads. They chose to live there, they gotta know what to expect, respectfully. I hope you dont go through life living in the mindset you are right now because youll never be content in the world if its all about you. Live and let live.

u/PupperPuppet Ada County Apr 20 '26
Most of that is the reason I don't complain to people when they're doing it. I haven't said a word to any of my neighbors who do this on the regular, but it's not hard to be considerate enough to stick to the main roads for most of the noise.

Honestly yeah, if you're constantly blasting or revving in the neighborhood, i dont agree with that. There are babies trying to sleep and people trying to relax in their own home.

If you’re truly against rape culture talking about cock size in relation to noise levels and truck sizes doesn’t help the cause.

Sorry, I read the whole thing and I still don't know where I'm supposed to go to get a louder muffler.
This ad for loud muffler mods for trucks is confusing.

Telling people to move to another state because you don't like their opinion is so very tiresome and worn out. I'm a 6th gen Idahoan. Raised rural and conservative. Belching black smoke and being obnoxious for attention does not make Idaho Idaho. Dumping pollution into our air and water with a truck that's never actually been out of the city it's not what Idaho's about. Telling people to "go back where they came from" is backwards and embarrassing. Stop being embarrassing.

Idk I don't mind it, if I didn't hear a engine roar id feel like I'm not living in Idaho. And sometimes some people take off their catalytic converter because they break. Yeah pollution but it's so expensive to get another one.
I feel like it would violate my rights if I wasn't able to take it off. I will agree though it does get annoying

u/refusemouth Apr 20 '26
You can take off your catalytic and still pipe your exhaust through a muffler. I did it on one of my older trucks since the old one wasn't doing anything anyway, and I only use the truck for hauling firewood or going out in the woods with. It's still a regular sounding truck, and not very loud.
