[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1010929, member: 554626"] ouch grammar ninja. Correct, your best bet is to buy a bee hive and replace your muffler. Gut the cat too or like marleyskater said, cut it and throw a test pipe on there. Or if you have inspections you could try a glasspack. I dunno if the work on 4 bangers. Also if you want it to sound good, (decent). Please, do not buy a APC muffler. Spending around 150-200 will get you away from ppl turning heads and laughing at you. Also if you have a air scilencer (usually under your airbox) take that off. It'll give it a little sound. Play with your intake too (intake tube, cone filter) it may sound a little better. Not sure for a I4 though. I had a volkswagen golf GTI, exhaust was all bolted on. My dad and I gutted the cat becasue it was clogged and I didnt feel like buying because it was probably more than the car was worth. Anyways my car sounded like a vaccum/motorcycle. Then when the downpipe snapped off the manifold sounded like my car had a v8 except it was backfiring. So if you run a straight pipe be aware that you can and probably will be pulled over for noise ordiances. That crap is LOUD. In a few weeks I'm cutting off my cats and resonater. Then running true duals and maybe putting some flowmasters on. Then it will accually sound like a v8. [/QUOTE]
