Louder sound..........

I was just bored/curious and I searched for it fow awhile but couldn't really find anything about it so I thought I would just put it out there. It's just somethning I was wondering about, but is there anyway I could get my car to be just a little bit louder. I have a nice low rumble but I was looking for maybe a louder growl to it...........

FYI: I have a K&N style cone intake and a DTM style exhaust.........

the "tasteful" way to make it louder is to remove the resonator.. only problem is anything you change isn't going to be a constant X dB louder.. it'll only be louder at certain ranges of the rpm.

You're kidding right? Isn't it loud as hell? And won't you get pulled over if a cop is nearby?

I didn't do the mega phone tip.
But I did eliminate the resonator and muffler. straight pipe all the way out.
and no it's not loud at all.
BTW I have a VE motor if it makes any difference

But it is actually too quiet for me. I'm gonna slap a supertrapp on the end of it when I get some money together. h opefully that'll deepen the tone and bring back some low end grunt that I lost.

If you want your exhaust louder just run a straight pipe, but im pretty sure that is illegal in most states.

A staright pipe in place of a CAT is illegal in ALL states
as is tampering with any emissions equipment.
