Loud cars can be a fun way to get yourself noticed on the road! Here are a few tips for making your car louder:
  • Get a new muffler. If you put a smaller muffler on your car, it will be much louder, especially
    when you accelerate
    .
  • Upgrade your engine. This is definitely a more expensive option, but you can purchase and install a larger engine for your car to make it louder.
  • Drill holes in your exhaust. Drill a few holes between the catalytic converter and the muffler, and your car should get much louder as a result.
  • Get an exhaust tip. These devices are specifically designed to make your car louder.
  • Make your exhaust pipes bigger. Exhaust pipes are responsible for most of the sonic output from your engine, so getting a larger one will amplify the sound.
If you use any of these tips, then your car will definitely get louder.
