Straight pipes are exhaust that are quite literally "Straight" instead of flowing the the frame of the vehicle.
That's one way to answer it, but the question must be from a kid; if so, "Straight" pipes (which usually are "straight and unbent" actually refers to running an exhaust without a cat or a muffler; it's a kid thing for real unless you are at a drag strip and talking very serious ponies on tap, usually the fuel dragsters or funny cars have "straight" pipes which come out of the exhaust ports and bend upward and backward; but we're talking 2000 hosepower, less than 10 seconds of run time and Nitromethane for fuel.

straight pipes are louder than glass packs at first, glass packs have glass wool inside to help muffle the sound, when the glass wears out they get louder, it also depends on the length of the glass pack. if you get glass packs, you can run the car for awhile and shut it down and then spray water in the pipe, it will break down the glass, it might not be as loud as straight pipes but it will give you a better even sound versus straight pipes, I have both and done both.
