I'm just wanting to make my exhaust louder but not obnoxious (yes i'm an 18 year old that wants a somewhat loud exhaust to show off!). Any ideas??? I was just thinking of getting like a new muffler and exhaust tip but how much louder could you make the stock the exhaust by putting on those two things?
I'm going to recommend that you leave the exhaust alone, at least from the cat-back. The stock muffler sounds best & if flow is a concern, just do the CTI over-the-axle piece to get it all to 2.5". GM did a pretty good job with our car so a lot of "performance" parts do little, if anything, to help. I got a Magnaflow cat-back & miss the factory exhaust sound. I don't really like the Magnaflow but it's prob one of the quieter options.
I just don't want to see you waste money that could be better spent on stuff that'll help like a stage kit, cooling mods, etc.

I say the same myself. The stock exhaust may not be all that loud, but at least it doesn't sound like garbage. I have yet to hear a single catback exhuast or muffler add on with a LSJ that doesn't sound like crap IMO, reason why I'm not going to touch mine
Ya I know I just want something more throaty and deep than the stock so I can actually hear it. Right now all I hear is the supercharger because I have GM stage 2 with K&N Typhoon.
I don't know how much more "deep & throaty" you can get with a 4-banger. Not sure how a header would sound with the factory cat-back. A cat-less downpipe would make it louder but most don't like the sound/loudness of going cat-less.
What muffler though... heard someone on hear has dynomax or something like that and they like it. I know vibrant, magnaflow (don't really want) and borla make them (I think they would fit our car)?
I had the twin loop muffler on mine and loved it. This was the 4inch tip. I would go with the 3.5 next time. Many ppl on here will argue anything with you but like someone told me on here. Your the only one driving it so do what you want with it lol
u want a loud exhaust get a megan u will regret it very soon but its loud.
