Open manifold. I did it while removing clogged cats, it was loud as ****. Got some nice flames under the car too. Too damn loud for any actual driving though. An Apex'i N1 sounds decent and is pretty loud. The Corksport exhausts are pretty loud too.

you're defeating the purpose by looking for a muffler. A muffler does as its name implies, it muffles. Straight pipe FTL (For The Loud)!!!

btw, look down under this thread on the main page, there's a thread about using those "Tornado" things, I hear they make an exhaust louder and the car faster, and like 35mpg too! lol

l

thats why i recomended the BC spec II. its pretty much a straight pip with a resonator. its bearable w/ the silencer in, but still loud as hell.. its sounds pretty good on hondas until the upper rpm range, then it gets kinda raspy.

this clip illestrates its sound pretty well

Don't exhausts with silencers basically plug the end up except for a very small hole? Wouldn't this create undesired back pressure in the exhaust system?

I just dump the wastegate to atmosphere. It's quiet when I want it to be (relatively). I've got a Borla XR-1 up where the main cat was run back into Apexi N1 duals.

Pep Boys $20 glass pack. Will get even louder as it melts and turns into a through pipe over time. Bonus!

You might as well go into a hardware store and ask for a lock that's easy to bypass in case you ever lock yourself out. You won't get a straight answer, and really anything cheap will do that. Try telling people what kind of tone you want, that'll give you some better responses.

Here's a helpful hint, it's not going to sound any better than that if it's louder.

If you want something loud, and quality all at the same time, then go corksport.
