I know this has been said somewhere on here but I couldn't find it. It sounds like my car got a lil quieter after a put on the DTM style muffler after I got my OBX jacked. Is there anyways I can make my car a lil louder and/or a deeper throatier tone?? Please no flames!

 

still have a cat?

 

pardon my ignorance, but what is DTM and OBX? they are prolly things i have heard of, but not put that way. if i knew what you meant, i may be able to give some of my two cents worth philosophy. BTW, my car is loud. and i like it that way. a y-pipe is the quickest way, literally and figuratively, to get whay you are looking for w/out swapping the muffler.

 

i meant "...to get what you are looking for..." sorry. not "whay." i caught that after i had already hit submit.

 

hi welcome to the org's "edit your post" feature.

 

you can try removing the resonator, but it might be mad loud after you do that.

 

yeah it will be... dont do it..

 

Any other ideas guys?

 

buy 15 inch subs...oh wait....

 

get another canister type straight-through muffler.

 

just ordered a wsp y pipe stainless with b pipe without resonator. how will this sound, or should i get the b pipe with a resonator

 

there comes a point when you just got to do something and see for yourself. i have discovered this little axiom since i have been visiting here for about 18 months. i admit that i cannot avoid mistakes. and i cannot rely on others to show me the way all of the time. if cash is the issue, put the y-pipe on it and just do it piece by piece. you will notice a change immediately. now go do something. and you did. so welcome to the merry-go-round. (your y-pipe may sound tinny without the resonator, but don't just take my word for it).

 

run open headers

 

put holes in it man just kidding man but if you want to sound bad get a cut out thats the only way to go

 

A cut out what? You wanna explain some more, i'm lost???

 

have you done anything to the intake yet?

 

yeah! follow my route

 

Just K&N with cut air box. I'm thinking of getting a cone air filter next but would it be as good as the K&N if it wasn't from the K&N, just a cheaper filter that is a cone filter, would that help with sound and etc.?

 

oh, so you already took my route...

cones do help but i wouldn't think it's that big of a difference...

 

a cut out is something the hot rodders used to do. Take a pipe or something with a removable cap on it and weld it in place right after the headers (Y on the Maxima) that way it is quiet when you normally drive it and if you want to you can take the cap off of it to make it open exhaust which will be really loud.

 

run open headers/manifolds

 

Ok, I think I am going to just go pick a cone filter. What would be a good place to pick one of these up?

 

I say check eBay. Plenty of people selling the cone kits.
