Louder Car
 

I have a 2000 SS and I want to make it louder. I've found this video on YouTube: (It's the first video if you just type in 2007 Monte Carlo Very Loud)
I love the sound of that. The guy does list all of what he has/did on it but I'm a girl and don't know much about what this stuff is. If anyone could explain to me what all he did or if anyone has any other ideas on how to make my car sound louder, I'd very much appreciate it! Thank you! :)

That's an 07 with the LS4, so getting your car to sound like that and consistently through the RPMs won't be possible.

Some things you can do is go with an intake, the intake will be pretty loud. You can also look into mufflers, to keep the rasp level down, I would look into Magnaflow.

You could also look into headers if you're looking for noise and power :thumsbup:

There's been a lot of exhaust threads on here, so you could look around at those to find some information, also, clubgp.com is another good site to look because most of those Grand Prixs also have 3800's

Yeah, I've been looking at some of the other threads on here and a lot of people say either MagnaFlow or FlowMaster is the way to go, I just don't know which one would be louder. Also, aren't headers kind of a pain to put on? Haha..I only know so much about cars now..and what exactly is an intake? lol

Headers can be a pain if u dont have the right tools & equipment, simple muffler swap, resinator & u-bend delete will make it louder

Nothing is exactly simple with me and cars haha..

Lol well basicly have a muffler shop put ur new mufflers on whatever u decide on, you can get a new downpipe with the u bend delete in it

Heres a few links on intakes

1998 - 2004 3.8L Monte Carlo Intake System (Black Powder Coated)

Easy Performance - Wizaired Cold Air Induction System #EP-CAI

Downpipe

DP3S

I mean if it's fairly simple I can always look up how to do it and maybe have my dad help me because it would be cool to say I did it myself haha..but out of the two intake links you sent me, which one would be better do you think?

The downpipe is easy install & pretty straight forward & if u dont wanna spend that much money you can have the pipe cut out between tge cat & the flange & have a straight one welded in & as far as intakes id go with the first one from Cold Air Inductions & its always good to do things yourself :thumbsup:

I'll spend the money if it makes my car a lot louder haha and is there a reason why you like that one better? And haha it is good to do things yourself!

Well the down pipe & just having a straight pipe put in do the same just a big price difference & well both intakes are about the same just the Cold Air Inductions looks a lil nicer lol i dont own either i made my own lol cant justify spending the money untill im done with my GTO

Ohh okay..How did you make your own?

Exhaust pipe & a cone filter with some roof flashing as a heat shield its no where near as good as the one posted but it does the job for now

Ohh cool...does it make your car as loud as the down pipe would?

Down pipe adds a lil sound but to make it have a noticable difference youll need intake, down pipe & mufflers, right now ive got the intake & homemade down pipe have yet to install my mufflers but it has a good sound so far

Have you recorded the sound of your car on something?

Nope i have yet to, i can prob make a video tomorrow of the sound ideling, got an exhaust leak so i dont rev it up lol

Haha okay..that'd be cool and oh no that's not good lol

Lol ehh just need to reweld it & ill make a video as soon as i roll my car outta the paint booth tomorrow

Haha I guess and oo what color did you paint your car?

I only painted the quarter panel to fix some existing paint issues so its still blue :)

Aw, I'm jealous. I wanted a blue one but ended up with silver. I was going to paint it but decided to spend my money on making it louder haha..can you upload sound clips on here because I have a facebook if it's easier to send it though that, or e-mail.

Youtube works the best & just post a link & lol blue is the best :p

Haha okay and yes it is...I want a blue '69 Charger with red racing stripes.

Nice that be sweet

Haha yepp.

I found this video too: So he just took out the muffler and resonater?

Lol add me on facebook

what's your facebook?

Yup its basicly straight piped & 03JGMonte@Gmail.com

Ohh okay.and I sent a request

Yeah u dont want straight pipes & added ya

i wanna be loud :(

i do admit after i installed my Wizaired CAI it made the exhaust a little louder. still not loud enough for me

Get muffs, res

Get muffs, resonator delete, and an air Intake. Easy.

Haha yeah I say the louder the better

if you want REAL loud.. theres always straight pipes. but it does tend to rasp at higher rpms

another member on here did straight pipes. heres a clip!
