You aren’t the only one who wants your car to roar! Fortunately, like-minded car enthusiasts have come up with a few workarounds.
Here are a few ways to make a
BMW
sound louder:
  • Get a smaller muffler. Designed with volume in mind, the smaller your muffler, the louder your car will be.
  • Install a specialized exhaust kit. Modifying the exhaust system is the easiest way to increase your engine volume.
  • Get a larger downpipe. These make your car louder by reducing the backpressure in the exhaust.
  • Remove the resonator from your exhaust system. This impacts your car’s tone, resulting in deeper sounds coming from your car.
Just remember that some states and counties have noise laws regarding how loud your vehicle can be. So before you make any modifications to your car, check your local laws.
Since you’re taking the time to learn more about your car’s modification options, why not take an extra minute to learn more about your insurance options with the
