January 9, 200620 yr comment_94983 Hi guys, I have a question. Basically, i used to know a panel beater that used to "modify" the exhausts of his cars. As a result, the cars always sounded a bit louder and tough! All with the car's standard exhaust What i want to know is, "is it possible to somehow make the standard exhaust on my ae82 corolla sound a little tougher and "rorty" by doing a few simple modifications? Basically, insurance wont allow me to modiy my car with an aftermarket exhaust, and i can't stand driving a car that has such a wimpy exhaust note. Please help! Report
January 9, 200620 yr comment_94989 hole in the muffler :rocknroll: or cut the tip off at the muffler and weld on a relatively long 3" tip, makes a bit more noise that way Report
January 9, 200620 yr comment_95001 I remember working at a servo a few years ago an elderly women came in and asked me what was up with her exhaust after she got fuel, turned out that it was just hte tips had fallen off the muffler. Was a n12/13 pulsar with a stock exhaust and it sounded quite good suprisingly. Report
January 9, 200620 yr comment_95096 Not sure if mine sounds tough or not - hard to tell from the drivers seat - but it has a decent note hi flow cat and 2.5inch pipe right through to tip ..... mmmmm rumbly Report
January 9, 200620 yr comment_95097 if you want a deeper note doesny putting extractors on help your cause? and that way its not even an exhaust system, i doubt the amount of sound will make alot of real difference, the thing that makes your exhaust sound quiet is the muffler not the size of the pipe. just try and find a muffler thats empty, like mine :rocknroll: haha Report
January 10, 200620 yr comment_95201 Find out exactally they mean by aftermarket. Basically if you have to replace your exhaust it becomes aftermarket, therefore they should have some guide lines and you may be able to play around a little. A cut section of tailshaft as a tip makes a good resonator.(The longer the better) Report
January 11, 200620 yr comment_95411 cut the back muffler off and go straight through pipe. if u go cuttin off anymore mufflers, they start soundin like tractors. cost ya bout $70 at an exhaust shop to do, or the angle grinder at home and a bit of DIY!!! Report
January 20, 200620 yr comment_96879 loud doesn't equal tough. most people can see when a car is revving loudly but NOT REALLY MOVING VERY FAST. sounds like you want a different car mate. :cool: Report
January 20, 200620 yr comment_96994 BAH, stab some holes in the muffler, lol just empty out the muffler like....love ke70 said or just take off a muffler. just remember than noise attracts attention :( if you want them looking closer at ya car then go ahead otherwise leave it alone i reckon your choce, tuff exhaust notes are good on the ear though i must admitt :) Report
January 21, 200620 yr comment_97077 just remember than noise attracts attention if you want them looking closer at ya car then go ahead otherwise leave it alone i reckon so true. comin out of work just before and as i just got me license gunnin it up, bought 50k in second so i was shiftin for a 10k road outta the car park, and i come round the bend, coppers are talkin to a bunch of "hoons" and as i come round they look up and are tryna get a better look, without the exhaust i woulda been able to brake before the heard me, but its ok, they never followed me...phew!

January 21, 200620 yr comment_97112 luckey for you then man. still rather have a beefy exhaust though :) Report
January 21, 200620 yr comment_97139 i like cars that move fast but don't make much noise. very stealth. 330Ci comes to mind. Seriously, unless you are making good power don't bother with a loud exhaust or you just look like a stupid boy racer. Report
January 22, 200620 yr comment_97179 yeah dude, go the exhaust :) and you JC person, a good exhaust is a step on the way to making good power, usually a good exhaust is a loud exhaust coz its less restrictive :( so if you go extractors and a bigger exhaust with a high flowing muffler you will make more power....most of us "stupid boy racers that drive our "shitbox" corollas as you like to call them can't afford a 330Cibbq so do what we can with what we have.
