Somebody tell me that if I shoot in the exhaust pipe of a car, with the motor started or turned off, the car will explode, harming to the people near the same?

What do you think? Wink

No reason why it would. It'll puncture the exhaust pipe, and that'll be that. Sans explosives of some description it is actually quite hard to have a car blow up, with a gun or otherwise.

The car will run louder. The hole will let exhaust out before it goes through the muffler. It will not do anything to keep the car from running.

Some people like a car with a loud exhaust.
