How can I make my exhaust sound deeper?

Start the engine, and walk around the vehicle while someone revs it up, so you can hear how it sounds. If you want it a bit deeper, you can widen the cut to about a third of the pipe’s circumference. Additional cuts, spaced about four inches apart, will add depth and volume to the sound.

How do I make my exhaust sound sporty?

1. Step 1: Replace the Muffler. Factory installed mufflers are designed to absorb as much sound as possible.

3. Step 3: Have the Exhaust Tubing Evaluated.
4. Step 4: Consider a Turbocharger.

Does muffler placement affect performance?

Putting the mufflers further back where the exhaust is cooler lets you run a more restrictive (often quieter) muffler with less performance penalty than putting it further forward. That’s part of why a lot of newer cars have a muffler tucked behind the rear bumper.

Does it matter where I put my muffler?

And yes, location of muffler does affect sound. The more piping after the muffler, the mellower the tone gets, as opposed to a muffler thats dumped/turndowns right after. You will probably have to find a muffler with a inlet and outlet on the same side.

How far back should a muffler be?

How far back should a muffler be? For up to about 350-400 HP, 2 1/2″ pipe is all you really need. You can go to 3″ if you want to feel good but you’ll get a more mellow drone and very little pop out the back. Additionally, in the OEM exhaust world, we use a rule of thumb of 10:1 ratio.

If you have dual exhaust tips to a single exhaust, your vehicle will look great, but it’s not doing anything to increase power. Dual exhaust will give you a significant power increase because of the engine’s ability to breathe better. Thus, if you are trying to increase horsepower, dual exhaust may be worth the cost.

How much HP does dual exhaust add?

Most manufacturers of aftermarket dual exhaust systems claim an increase of 15 to 20 percent in horsepower (hp). A car producing 190 hp, for example, could potentially see an increase to over 225 hp, an impressive gain. Adding headers generally adds another 20 to 20 hp.

Do exhaust tips add horsepower?

Enlarged exhaust tips can add to a car’s visual appeal, but they make no difference to performance, so go as large as you like. This extra efficiency can be used to either increase your car’s horsepower or improve its fuel economy.
