Hey Guys,

Im new to this site, Just wondering if anyone has been able to make there stock exhaust any louder or if they know of anyone who has?? I love the sound of the stock exhaust and dont want to change it.

Thanks!!

 

i've tried 2 different exhausts so far and have gone back to stock (fast intentions and greddy) because i wasn't satisfied with note. like you, i'm on a 'quest' to keep the native vq howl but louder. there are a lot of folks on here that know more than me so lets see what people say.

 

fast intentions or crawfordz high flow cats! or fast intentions test pipes

 

HFC's and headers

 

change out everything but the muffler. so headers, high flow cats/test pipes, y-pipe, mid pipe. when you remove resonators you have a change of getting rasp.

 

i'm thinking about doing Y pipe and HFCs. i'd like to save some weight in addition to keeping stock note. again, just LOUDer

 

sounds like you didnt give the F/I time to season. I have mine with
4k on it and love the tone! Then the HFC's even made it better

 

Welcome to the 'Driver boards, kirmy31.

One of the best ways to evaluate and answer your query would be to meet up with some local enthusiasts, whom have already installed certain applications/mods to their cars. This will afford you a real world experience and allow you to determine for yourself what may or may not be suitable for you.

I was quite fortunate, myself. There were many friendly local members in my area, whom afforded me the opportunity to examine their vehicles. Those courtesies proved to be quite productive for me when I started to mod my own vehicle.

 

go to a few local meets to hear different exhaust set ups.

 

I have the answer!!!! Go with Stillen!!!! MAn, it sounds louder than stock... and the note is quite similar. I also love the performance! Good luck!

 

^+1 on stillen, sounds exactly the same as stock, but just slightly louder and with more goooooooooo. sounds even better when combined with headers, but don't run stillen exhaust with headers and racepipes if you don't like a really raspy WOT sound . . .
