Making exhaust sound louder?

[hooterville]

How can I make my stock exhaust louder? Besides installing a new system. Is there any dampeners I can remove?

Please, no methods that may lead to mechanical damage to the car.

Install a catless off-road pipe, that will change the sound. Better or worse depends on personal preference. My wife hates the new tone, but the 14 tear-old thinks it is "Honda Cool".

(probably best to keep these cool sounds off-road )

Catless Y would be great, but I share in the poor mans pain.....I too own an ATX.

I can't find one for an ATX.

New mufflers are fairly cheap and can be welded to your stock exhaust. Anything that is "straight through" will definitely make it louder.

If you like rasp get rid of the resonator.

for a louder exhaust, simply lower your radio! j/k

When i bought my car god...5 months ago...it was pretty damn loud. It had an exhaust leak for a while, there was nothing left of my donut gasket.

It might be alright if you just want "loud". Unfortunately, I thought it sounded like ****. I think sounding good is more important than sounding loud.

So now, with the exhaust leak fixed and my intake air cone removed, I dig the sound of the engine... now THAT baby sounds good... thumbs_u
