Solutions to fix sounding like a diesal...

Dansby · August 23rd, 2008, 01:29 PM

So...just taking thoughts on fixing/changing the sound of my car.

YouTube - Washed, Waxed, and Bored.

APPARENTLY...it sounds like a diesal. I've got the pypes o/r x with the pypes violator catback. Don't say replace the whole thing, because I just can't afford that.

Suggestions welcome.

new mufflers

get some mac flowpaths and have them welded in.
because then it would be very smiler to what i have just with stock manifolds and no cats.
and i love the sound of mine, sounds nothing like a diesel.

another thing that might help would be to get some high flow cats welded in.

Can't afford cats. Cant really afford to do anything right now, haha. I might just go ahead and get it inspected and cut of the mufflers and run turn downs.

For a temp solution atleast.

that will sound worse. i know when i ran dumps it sounded BAD. i would say just leave it till you can afford to do something to it. that is going to be your best bet IMO

Generally dumps that sound good are dumped after the muffler. Your only real option is to change the mufflers.

Dansby · August 23rd, 2008, 03:39 PM

Alright, well if yall run across any videos with the pypes o/r x and different mufflers, let me know.

Almost sounds like there is a leak in it unless that was just "microphone" noise. It does sound "odd".

my sixxer sounds like that too, i got just straight pipes comming of the exhaust manifold or what not.... bought the car with crappy exhaust on it... but thats what mine sounds like too..

I was going to say it almost sounded like straight pipes.

Dansby · August 23rd, 2008, 10:19 PM

Well it pretty much is, haha. Catless mid pipe and mufflers that are pretty much straight through.

doesnt sound too bad, doesnt sound good but not that bad. O/R x's or h's on a stock motor six is a bad idea. However, investing in a cam and your car would sound alot better

check this out:

full exhaust and cam
