how can i make my car sound better?

Question

ok i have a 1990 camry le. i know it sucks. is there any way, legally, i can make it sound louder and meaner (exhaust systems, mufflers). i want that deep rumbling street car sound without having to replace the engine.

Answer 1

to really take advantage of any high performance after market products you need to do something with both the exhaust and intake. something as simple as replacing both the muffler with a less restrictive model and the stock air box with a cold air intake. you could gain probably 15-20 HP with that along with the rumble that you want

Answer 2

You can use pipe extensions, but should not replace the exhaust system on a Camry...there is a certain amount of back pressure required, and an open flow system would hurt your car just to make it sound better.

A small improvement in sound and power can be gained from putting in a K&N filter or cold-air intake system.

Answer 3

Take it to Midas and have them remove the muffler and catalytic converter, and just weld in straight-through pipes. It won't sound like a muscle car, but you will get a loud chain-saw or Honda sound out of it. Good luck.

Answer 4

Buy a CD of race car sounds and crank it up real loud!

Answer 5

get a cd with the sound of a gt40 then put some speakers in your grille and go to town

Answer 6

buy a flowmaster muffler.all those giant mufflers make it sound like motorcycle on steroids.

Answer 7

Modifying the factory exhaust will get you a fix it ticket, so why bother?

Answer 8

its a camry, forget it.
