About 4 months ago I put on the Borla Catback Atak exhaust. I love how it sounds but I want it louder.
What can I do guys???

Add long tube headers or exhaust cut-outs.

longtubes and hi-flow cats... (or no cats!

) that will make it louder for sure! but... uh i wouldnt know b/c my car is legal...

Drill holes in the muffler. Loud and weight savings to boot!

test pipes and long tube headers. Do the test pipes first (although you wont pass inspection, but realisticy... don't we have a shop we can go too???) its the cheapest. Then do the long tube headers if the test pipes weren't enough.

Studio city...... CA?

Don't even bother doing anything else to it, if you plan on keeping it legal and smogging it in California when the time comes.

Not worried about the smog cuz I got connections

Ok then.
If you like the sound of your current exhaust try, adding Long tube headers and high-flow cats or no cats.
If that isn't enough, do no weeds or cut -outs.
By then, you should be obnoxious enough

You could cut the exhaust system right off. Seriously though I have a L99 and put solo high flow cats on it and it made it louder and increased performance. In a few days I will be putting on an x-pipe I imagine that will make it louder to some extent, I'm sure others that have done it could clue us in on the change that would make.

What long tube headers & high-flow cats do you recommend?
