what should i get to make my car sound sick

i know it may sound kind of weird. but i am looking for something that will not decrease my cars performances, maybe even add gas milage, and a little HP/TQ. but i am very happy with its power as it is....lol, i dont want to do compute tune, because i really want to keep it warranty safe.

Long tubes and a full exhaust will do it.

If you delete your cats you will need a tune.

If you tune, a sick cam would finish it off and sound truly amazing...

If you want your car to sound sick, play a CD of someone coughing.

Cheap and easy fix to make the car sound like it should have is to do a muffler delete. Just take it to a local muffler place and tell them you want straight pipe put in place of the mufflers. Thats what I did to mine first and it sounded awsome. There is no need to spend a bunch of money on a cat-back exhaust unless you have more money then brains and just want to say you have a certain name exhaust. All of the cat-backs ive heard are very disapointing...

I'd say get cutouts, intake. Those are not only the most inexpensive things you can do to the powertrain, but also, they change the exhaust note the most. Headers will help as well, but you can buy intake and cutouts for less combined money than headers. No tune is needed for most intakes and cutouts are after the cats, so a tune isn't necessary for them either.

Putting a cam on the car will make it lopey, but won't change the exhaust, pitch. If you want the car to sound like a race car with the lopey idle, then it's a good idea, but with a cam you will for sure need a tune which will void your warranty.

I'd say get the SLP Loudmouth II axle-back exhaust. It replaces the mufflers and the exhaust tips. Sounds sick, not relatively expensive (costs about $500), and it shouldn't effect the warranty. You can also remove the mufflers and just replace them with straight pipes. Might not sound as good but it's worth it for only $100.

Go with the solo mach x cat back, sounds amazing, looks amazing, great price, great customer service, and you will gain a few hp/tq. I absolutely love mine and so does everyone that hears it, not disappointing at all!!!

You could pull some plugs or maybe put some water in the tank. That would make it sound sick.












SLP LOUD MOUTH sounds awesome. I don't know about sick.
