Is it bad that I'm searching for a straight-piped hybrid?

Searches on the net show nothing, I need to fulfill my curiosity.

Closest I found was a riced out Prius with HIDs, with the owner considering doing it. I wonder how those things sound like. I guess I could buy a scrap one and abuse it to hell.

Hennessey Venom for your trouble.

You should straight pipe an Insight

They'd sound like a normal straight piped car if the engine is on.

It's not like it's going to enhance the electric motor sound or anything

Enhancing an electric motor's noise, that's new...

Sidetracked a bit, there is a few insights for sale semi-near me and I spent a good amount of time watching youtubes of swapped insights.

I didn't understand what you were looking for or expecting.

Electric motors make noise, they aren't entirely silent. I didn't know if you were expecting a hybrid drive system to sound different from a normal engine, or just didn't know if anyone had straight piped a hybrid

yes, EV's do make a slight noise, I know someone who DD's a LEAF, and I hear a quiet, but high pitched whine coming from the motor, which intensifies the faster it goes.
