Wider tubing, Headers, High flow cat would help

wow, you have an apexi N1 and you want it louder, any louder and the cops will be able to hear you from a mile away

yeah. if you wanna be louder, that's your thing man. just gut the cat, or put in a testpipe and put a straight pipe with the just an N1 muffler. that'll be LOUD. it'll really sound like crap IMO, but if you want loud, that's how you do it. i'd strongly suggest against this but like i said, to each his own. if the cops in your area are like they are wherever i've lived, you'll become the biggest target in town. not only that, your neighbors won't appreciate it. i had a similar setup in college and my car became the target of unhappy campers. just a fair warning.

cherry bombs are those red fire extinguisher-like exhaust jeeps and trucks have that you can see.

get a cold air intake, it'll add some more sound cause more air will exit exhaust.

supertrapp exhaust. it's tunable, and when i tune mine all the way out, my ears ring really bad from it. it has no core in the "muffler", and when tuned all the way out, actually flows faster and louder than a straight pipe.

well i don't want it to sound like crap.....i am going to get an air intake soon.......but what about one of those hi flow cats off ebay......would that be louder....or should i go with a brand name and if so what brands are out there

going into too much detail, simplest way is just take off your muffler. I know its illegal but from what it sounds like i dont think you care.

Get a K&N intake, with a BOV and some headers that all you need to make it louder

You are 100% correct.

SRV boy is telling him to get a BOV AND HEADER (never supposed to be together unless you have a supercharger..which isn't even really an option for a 4th gen)

leejam's car isn't even turbo..i don't unerstand what srv boy's tryin to say.

turbo cars without BOV make a THUNK sound each time you shift instead of the PTSHHHHHHH.

BOV is for FI applications.

You guys are assholes. He's probably talking about that whistler you stick on the end of your muffler to make it sound like you have a BOV.

SRV BOY

You guys are pricks actually lol, thats what im talking about, what prelewd said. The problem is too many egos who think they know it all!

But that thing doesn't make the BOV sound at all...it just makes the spooling sound.

i'll tell you guys what would make it really loud!!!

take off the exhaust manifold completely, ditch the entire exhaust-everything. then buy 4 "BOV spooler" things, and mount them right in each of the 4 exhaust ports, at the front of the motor. that would be sweet... no, even better.... RICE-ALICIOUS

..or just buy big outdoor speakers and hide them around the outside of your car while playing a looping track of hideous honda exhaust notes.

don't forget the horn that plays songs. wait.... get an air compressor and some air horns.

haha blow off valve in a non turbo, good idea!! just put a glass pack on your car if you want it to be really loud, my buddy had one and ur nuts vibrated just from sitting in the thing, or just punch a bunch of holes in your exhaust

take out the cat and put a straight pipe and you can take out the resingnator

Do what I just did. Header straight back 2 1/4 to a magnaflow muffler.. No cat, No resonator.. nothing It's definatley loud

in some states, they legally define a muffler simply as a wider tube through which exhaust gasses pass. if your state is one of these, just have your exhaust widen by an inch for the last foot or so.

cut out the cat and the resingnator thing will scream
