How should I make my car sound better?

[5Toes]

My county does not have emissions testing, and I dont think it ever will.

[kid325e]

Will your car pass emissions without a cat? Just something to think about.

Who gives a shit what other people think? Screw them, it's your car and it only matters what you think in the end. Just like your personal appearance.

Because rattly exhaust sounds like shit.

Ive had kenwoods in my last 3 E30s. I LOVE them. Try out a Kenwood. The Pandora Capability is awesome.

You suck.

Nando was right that Pioneer was junk! I hated it!!! The buttons were dumb as well, so glad I tried it out before buying one.

JVC it is.. loved my JVC I had in my e30

Well I will have both eventually, but I just cant figure out which one to do first!

I picked Stereo and here is why:

Cars with loud exhaust that have no performance gain aren't as cool as having a car with a whoop ass stereo.

I've never been huge fan of cars that sound beastly but have no mods that actually make them perform any better. I can appreciate a great sounding exhaust but for $200 I don't see you getting something all that great. $200 on a good stereo and speakers will get you further.

I agree Jason, but by what I am installing technically is a catback, lol.

Or a new muffler would be a good name for it too

[JasonC]

new pipes plus new muffler from cat is a catback..

A catback is usually generalized as a whole setup bought at once and made by a particular manufacture. Not something pieced together.

I don't know why you consider cutting out a resonator and welding in a new muffler a 'catback' Andrew..

Like I said, my best friend HAS a Remus on his 87 325i. I do not like it at all, I prefer a more raspy exhaust.

Spintech is a nice muffler for sure and the shop I am having install it does very good work. I dont know why people think it is going to sound bad...

[JasonC]

If your low on funds, and want both. Why not get a shop to install a Thrush chambered muffler? They sound good and don't drone as much as one would think. http://www.summitracing.com/search/b...d?autoview=SKU

And in the end, you could save up a little more cash and then do your stereo. Your car is stock and don't need a $700 exhaust on it.


As far as comparing a Remus against a Flowmaster. They are two completely different designed mufflers! It almost sounds like someone is just saying the Flowmaster is subpar cause its made in the USA...

Lmao you wanna hear a bad exhaust? Listen to my ix haha. Don't be a damned fool. Get a proper exhaust.

FWIW I haven't had a radio in my car at all since I got it running a year ago, and it hasn't bothered me in the least. IMO a bad exhaust is extremely annoying, not having a radio just allows you to focus on other stuff, like driving.
