    Talking exhaust note louder?

    what modifications can increase the exhuast note of your car.. how do you make it idle heaps loud (without removing my rear muffler)

    i have full 3" straight thru with just a rear muffler at the end which is adjustable..

    want it to idle loud or make it sound lumpy on idle

    why dont you just get the hitachi out and make a few gashes up the front somewhere.

    or remove a vaccum hose so it doesn't boost and idles erratically.

    ulitmate solution, is to buy a V8


    i like volkswagens

    Did you buy a branded exhaust system or is it off the shelf style? I believe that an exhaust shop can alter the design for peak power or in your case, better sound.

    Adjustable muffler? Have you tried adjusting it? What design is it? Muffler change can make a big difference in performace and sound, but if youv'e already got a full 3", maybe you would be better off with some mods closer to the engine.

    AH ok nice. I would say the exhaust mani will get more gas out of your engine (volume and velocity) making more noise. Muffler, get a straight through. My magnaflow with 2 resonators, 2.25" cat back is absurdly loud so I would have thought a setup up like above would be the same.

    Cams, longer duration, higher lift. Read up on cam tech, but if you got some say 272 degree cams they will open the inlet valves for longer and higher, letting more air in. It is also a shorter turnaround till they open again, same on exhaust. Will help you get "lumpy".

    HAHAHAHA

    well, anyway - your turbo is the worlds most effective, and expensive muffler. remove your turbo, then your car will be loud.

    didnt you get defected a while back for too loud exhaust?

    i just checked out cam tech.. seems to be for V8's.. or i might be on the wrong site.. is there a brand for these 272 cams for vw/audi??

    My A4 1.8t was quiet and a little boring even with a full three inch turbo back exhaust until i made an exhaust manifold and added a Garrett GT 25/30 and not only did it go great once tuned but the exhaust note was awesome under boost! gldgti is right the stock turbo is the best muffler you can get so upgrade and get the power and the exhaust note to match!
