I just got catback put on my car (AMS). It is a great looking peice and is definately helping my spool up time, but its just not that loud. It has a very deep, non ricey sound, but is hard to notice. I bet some of my friends (who aren't into cars) won't be able to notice. I don't know if I have too high of expectations for sound/loudness (my last car was a 96 Mustang GT with catback and offroad H-pipe). What are everyone's thoughts on this?

 

Add a downpipe and cat-delete...That will make your system loud.

 

why do you want a loud exhaust? making more noise = more attention = more tickets

 

lose the cat

 

Mine is too noisy, I wish it was quieter.

 

yea, loose the cat and replace the downpipe...that should help

 

or just put in one of the electronic wastegate valves for when you want it really loud...although I dont see how they completly seal. I'm still researching that...

 

i wish i had this problem

 

yea, although the hks isnt that bad. Its not as near as loud as my eclipse with the tanabe racing medalion exhaust...

 

^true. my hks isn't nearly as loud as my greddy was, but i still get paranoid at night in fairfax

 

Dont know why u'd want loud. Loud is not equal to faster and like me i'm sure you'd prefer to get faster. The guys gave great answers but if you really want loud. you can have it for free if you lost the complete exhaust.

Back to serious - remove cat and downpipe. You should get a few added horses out of this also.

 

Just run it with an open downpipe and you'll be fine.

if u want loud, just do myu set up. Greddy Titanium, cat delete 3" downpipe. bam instant pull over loud. i dunno why i run it, but i still like it.

 

I had AMS install my TBE with high flow cat last week and it is a nice system. Its loud even with a resonator, sounded like my RNR tbe with carbon ti. I wished it sounded queiter but oh well I'll live it. I just keep thinking myself of how my car would sound in one of those videos where Eric did 9sec in the quarter mile. What can be done to limit the sound some more?

 

u want something loud... do what i did.. custom turbo back exhaust.. 3' all the way back...no muffler.. just a lil resonator as my muffler .. n ull be heard.. below boost level its noisy already.. wait til u get on boost.. ull love it .. louder n sounds better than any exhaust i ve seen....!!
