Side Exhaust project.

I'm have some thoughts into how I'm thinking of getting this done. I've gone to muffler shops that charge increadibly overpriced exhaust job, where you can simply buy a kit for less than half the price they charge and do it yourself. But I've been thinking of making the job my own. I have an idea, but I would like second opinions on what I would like to do. I made a pic about it to explain myself better.

But here are my worries and concerns:
- Will the noise be too loud, to the point of annoyance
- Will it pass the inspection test when its time to take one
- Incase of a flood, will the water reach the engine
- Will there be any violations with emission regulation
- Will the sound and appearance make me a target for police
- Is the muffler a necessity
I'm thinking of using regulat extention pipe to reach the edge of my car, then add tips for a stylish look. I'm doing this in hoping it will improve some power. Also I'm not in the wealthy part of my life yet, so I'm thinking of making this a realy inexpensive project.
Any thoughts. Thanks. This is the best place so far to find car information.

our Dare car has flowmasters on it exiting out the back and it sounds good your plan is going to be obnixiously LOUD.
- Will it pass the inspection test when its time to take one
Not in most states most places you cannot have exaust exiting under the passanger compartment due to carbon monoxide
- Incase of a flood, will the water reach the engine it could
it could
- Will there be any violations with emission regulation
I don't know where you are but probably
- Will the sound and appearance make me a target for police
Any vehicle exaust that is louder than the day it came out of the Factory in most cases can get you a ticket if the officer wants to push it.
- Is the muffler a necessity
depends
