Dear friends:

If the muffler is removed from a 1981 240D with manual transmission, do you know HOW LOUD it will be when driving?
Will the engine detonation noise be completely unbearable to bystanders?

I need to drive my friend's car (muffler out) home for repair work, and wonder whether it is possible to drive it home (about 10 miles) without irritating other people too much.

Thank you very much for your precious help.

Best regards,

Eric
