A novice driver was caught using a steel pipe and a coat hanger as an exhaust in Co Cork.
Gardai in Fermoy said they heard the car before they saw it.
Officers pulled the motorist over and then discovered the DIY exhaust.
The driver will receive a court summons due to the excessive noise from the vehicle and for not displaying N plates.
A garda tweet said: "Fermoy RPU heard this vehicle before they saw it. On closer inspection they saw this DIY exhaust that Mac Gyver would’ve been proud of.
"A steel pipe, coat hanger and a bit of chain but no muffler. Will receive a summons for excessive noise from vehicle and non-display of N Plates."
