    You can't even use this as an example..


    Obviously a 60° v6 is gonna sound a lot better than a 90° v6. -_-

    Drive with ur foot to the floor. Itll be loud(er). haha. But if i were you I would save ur money and go with another mod. I was considering trying to make mine louder as well but with other things that come up and me going to college next year I can live with stock exhaust. But if you want just go for what you were planning. Just remember that the more your car stands out the more likely you will be pulled over. haha. Just so you know thats a possibility.

    im not to worried about cops where i live and this is my DD so i dont want to mod it to heavily this is almost last on my list
    i am listening to what everyone is sayin but some of you are suggesting close to $500 in exhaust mods when this build is done im expecting like 215WHP tops so i dont need to invest that much into exhaust

    Drill a hole in each muffler. +15HP with each hole, plus s00oper sound barrier achieved with that setup. Plus, it costs 0 dollars. Win win win.

    OP isn't taking anyones advice.

    READ THE THREAD IN MY SIGNATURE.

    More than 200WHP in an N/A car is going to need a cam at the least.

    Go to the junkyard, find a rusty catback and put it on your car.

    Obviously not with holes rusted through. Mines louder than most gp's around here, but not "loud" by any means. Sounds as good as its gonna get til the mufflers rust all the way through. But that'll be years from now(hopefully)

    And by as good as it gets, I mean it sounds like a cat stuck in your muffler
