i was wondering if there was any way i could make my car sound louder/tougher than it already is w/o voiding the warranty

A cat-back exhaust system with no tune will not void your warranty. I have the Borla ATAK and really like the sound.

You won't void your warranty with an axel back or a cat back system. Just don't remove the Cats and get a tune.

so prettymuch i gotta get a tune? i thought that voided the warranty

No, you don't need a tune.

No tune required with catback

Muffler delete! 100 bucks and it sounds amazing. Any muffler shop can do it, they just cut the cans off the back and replace it with strait pipe. It's takes no time at all and it's a great first step to beefing up the sound. You'll also want a cold air intake.

I meant if you remove the cats it requires a tune anything from the cats back will not and you will be ok.

biggerisbetter · 03-17-2013, 02:45 PM

it all depends on a couple things

your budget-if you have the cash do the full catback. if money is too tight for a full catback do an axle back ,if money will not permit either of these do a muffler delete(i hear if you are auto it will drone).

is it ls3 or l99. if it is l99 most systems will drone badly. corsa and dynatech are not suposed to drone though.

its auto. what do you mean drone?

biggerisbetter · 03-17-2013, 02:56 PM

an annoying noise at cruising speeds from the afm-active fule management kicking on. it bothers some and others it doesnt. me personally i love my corsa and it is drone free and always has been. the only other one i kow of is the dynatech system. you can have j pipes added to any exhaust to help with the drone i hear.

Do a search on Youtube and see what you like. There are hundreds of different videos showcasing the different brands and types of exhausts for your car. Depending on how loud you want it, there are all different kinds, from mild to extremely aggressive. I, myself have the Flowmaster Outlaw catback system, which is really loud and aggressive.

This. You do not need a tune with anything behind the cats.

Do a muffler delete and you'll likely not pass Pennsylvania state inspection or emmisions inspection either. I wouldn't do it. I put Corsa catbacks on mine.
