Easiest way is to get a cold air intake and chop off the middle muffler and put on some thicker pipes that you found at a junkyard, always works amazing

[@crazyaboutthomas]

Cannot overstate the importance of doing research on exhausts before working on yours. It’ll save you money and time since many kits won’t allow you to return them if they’re installed, even if it’s for a few minutes. Don’t be afraid to go to a muffler shop with some pipes and get a custom exhaust done. Adding on X or H pipes, removing mufflers and resonators and getting nice tips is probably the most cost effective approach to an exhaust. Just unbolting from the cat back will not only give you a broken sounding exhaust but also can jeopardize your health since the fumes come up right into the cabin. Also straight pipes aren’t the solution to everything(I’m looking at you NA 4 bangers). Sometimes resonators and free flowing mufflers are required on cars, especially non turbo low displacement engines. It isn’t about being the loudest, but sounding the best. Also deleting cats can add more sound to your exhaust but be wary since in many modern cars, the O2 sensors built into the cats give important information to the ECU on how the car is running and if you get rid of those the car may not run correctly. Furthermore in many states you need catalytic converters to pass emissions tests so do your research before taking a Dremel to your cats. In short, think before you saw off your exhaust.

[@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023]

From my years of modding cars I learned that exhausts that increase in size from front to back makes the best sound. I just did the exhaust on my 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis. It has a cammed 4.6L 2 valve V8 in it. I started with a cold air intake and then shorty headers. Then I deleted the two rear catalytic converters. The factory exhaust is ridiculously small at 2" diameter so I kept it that small at the front with a 2" h-pipe. Installed Jones Exhaust Flowpack one chamber mufflers. The tail pipes are 2 5" and the exhaust tips out the back is 3.5" to create a magnifying effect. The sound of the cam is the icing on the cake.

I am a trained car mechanic and performance intakes and exhausts WILL only increase horse power if you remap the cars ecu and they will cause the car to lose power without it as the ecu will pull power to protect the engine as it doesn't understand why it is getting more air into the engine and get rid of the exhaust gases and a few years ago I ended up racing another vauxhall corsa ( mines was a stock 1999 1.0L (3 cylinder 973cc engine) against a 1.4L) and they had put on a performance intake and exhaust and no engine mapping and I beat them

Turbo flutter isn't necessarily guaranteed when using a turbo. It depends what kind of valve you have. Blow off valves cause flutter. Diverter valves are mostly silent.

Adding a intake will not and please listen as a I repeat, will not add turbo flutter (compression surge), adding a intake will make your turbo blow off louder and sound cooler but won't add flutter. In some vehicles flutter is bad on the turbo causing premature problems as well.

[@Patrick_Garrett]

FYI if you change anything from the headers to the cats, you will have to have an engine tuner modify the programming inside your cars ECU if you have a newer vehicle. In some states this is illegal, and if you don't pass emissions standards it's illegal everywhere (EPA) (some states don't check, others do). All of this WILL COST $$$$. if you want cheap sound, stay behind the cats.

Best Cheap (I believe it was like 30 bucks) muffler that I personally love is a Glasspack (Cherry bomb, I also got the 26 Inch one so be weary of the different sizes!) I have it on my 02 Ford exploder (Yes I'm aware that's cursed as fuck) and it just has the v6 in it. it sounds the best when I pull from a stop after its been idle for a second or two. Back pressure makes it sound louder. For me, Its perfect! Its not too loud and doesn't piss off everybody. Its also got the added perk of people turning heads :). Forgot to mention that those head turning people aren't saying "wow that sounds good!" no no no no no. its "why is that explorer so god damn loud?" or "Who the hell puts a modified exhaust on that shitbox?" but its funny none the less. Anyways! if you want to hear a loud exhaust but not too obnoxious, I recommend the Glasspack :)

Just grab some autozone cherry bombs along with a cheap muffler combo. It will make it sound good. Then change the exhaust tip to one that suites your needs. For a single tube system it shouldn't cost more then 100 to do yourself or maybe even 80 if your smart with it. I recomend chasing performance before you try to make it sound nice.
