add a cutout... e-cutout or wing nut cutout either one... just with the wingnut cutouts you have to manually remove the cap

Open headers. That's about as loud as it gets.

My friend decided to cut off his mufflers one night, after experimenting with his car. That was 3 months ago. He still hasn't put them back on. He likes it, I don't.

*Edit* He likes to rev it in crowded places too. VERY high revs.

To keep your sanity and drive others insane, longtubes, no cats, no mufflers out the back, that way you can "direct" the sound out the back at particular areas rather than having it bounce underneath...

Hell yea. I ran my car with open headers last weekend before I finally installed my ORY. Best sound and rumble ever. It is also incredibly loud.

i take it your car is stock? if so invest in some nice longtubes, then run open headers for awhile and **** off all your homo neighbors, then you could run straight pipe after the headers, or get a nice sounding catback and an e-cutout so you decide when you want it loud as hell. nothing is better than passing a car with open headers, everyone in the car just looks over quick and it scares the **** out of them...its great

if you run open headers, dont do it for long. youll screw up your o2 sensors and you will have a HUGE drop in low-end torque which is 95% of the fun-factor in these cars. do what i have, get two cutouts welded into the ORY, it sets off car alarms at startup

Definitely the best permanent solution.

Hmmm to answer your question literally, jack your car up and make your own cutout. That would be free!

Open headers. Either that or just put a cutout in place of your cat. My car is nice a quiet until the cutout is uncapped. Then, I'd call it more than just obnoxiously loud. I can't even hear myself think with it uncapped.

Unbolt the headers from the heads...



Jk, I vote LT's with straight pipes dumped. You could buy the LT's, then get a shop to put some pipes on it. Shouldn't be too much for all of it.

Girl's probably won't approve though... But if you do the !gf mod along with the LT's, you'll probably have enough for a nasty FI setup in a month with the savings.
