Ok so i use to think my car was loud, but now i dont think its all that loud. I have a AEM CAI, ORP, and Magnaflow exhaust. What can i do to get it even louder? I like to fly by people at 6.5-7k rpm in the morning traffic and slide by they're cars with little room and piss them off. But i need a louder setup.[:)~]

Custom exhaust reducing the amount of muffler/resonators in the line. You could always throw on a fart can and get a turbonator too [:p]

you could always run straight pipe all the way to the back, like 3" maybe lol

Who knows how it will sound though, it could end up sounding like what someone described once as "a flock of chainsaw's on nitrous" LOL

Get an exahust cut out. They are cheap, and easy to use/install.

Whenever you feel the need to be "loud" open the cut out, which is basically running open header, then when you get sick of that....which you will....close the cut out and bam you have your normal exhaust. You'll drop a good amount of trq with the cut out open wich starts to be REAL annoying when driving daily because of all the stop and go...but hey, what ever floats your boat I guess.

I have 4-2-1 header.... 1st gen MBRP.... raspy little biotch, makes me think that open headers would be more quiet [?|]

My car also seemed to get louder after I installed FRII cams? who knows

My question is, how can you do road trips with it being that loud and resonating in the cab? [paranoid]

Yes, it would get louder with the cams as the allow a little more overlap and more lift. Thus, more combustion noise gets into the exhaust system..

Pipes, who needs a pipe...just take it all off and run it like that...

yeah unbolt everything and watch the fire the motor spits out where the manifold goes. you might want to take off your hood to do that though or else your hood will warp and ripple like the ocean floor.

Hell, why not do the master card commercial. aluminium rear wing 250 bucks. Tin can weed eater exhaust 125 bucks. getting spanked by an import on the street. PRICLESS. By doing all these crappy fart can exhaust mods, your killing the back pressure which actually helps your car. Oh, and also blowing by people with little room to spare, Not good.They freak, hit you.and its three hits, them hitting you, you hitting the gaurd rail and EMS hitting 70 on the way to the E.R.. but at least you will have your fart can exhaust to remember your SVT by.
