I havent done it on my CL, but I used to have a turbo integra and we ran a straight pipe. It actually helped a little bit but the only problem was that the sulfur smell when coming off a high boost run would stink up the whole street. Its bad enough in socal having a fixed up car but try explaining to Mr. Officer why there's a ton of smoke coming from your tailpipe and why it smells like 10 dozen rotten eggs. Maybe its different with a supercharger and some good fuel management, when i had my turbo setup this was wayyyy back when DRAG was just coming out with 2nd gen turbo kit LOL.

Well, I have an E-Cutout on the A-Pipe of my headers, it's definitely makes the car 100% louder and stinks when you leave it open.
