omg no.... thats for a SBC.

**ljmonnin12** · 12-19-2010

I'm talking mods wise.

**matt5112** · 12-19-2010

EXHAUST.

That is the MAIN FACTOR in deciding how loud your car is.

Until you get to the straight pipes.... then its how much air you can move.

I should have checked the compatibility thing first. Duh.

Do you know how to pull a motor?
Do you know how to rebuild?

**matt5112** · 12-19-2010

buy an aftermarket catback or having aftermarket mufflers welded in.

Nope. Like I said.... I'm new at this kinda stuff. Just looking around to see what I could get done.

**JoshsGTP** · 12-19-2010

I wouldnt do a cam then. if you want to make it louder go with new mufflers.

**ljmonnin12** · 12-19-2010

Ok. Thanks. I'll look into it.

**Mjcanton** · 12-19-2010

What do you mean by louder engine?? Engine sound or exhaust?? Slap an open cone intake on, that would be the first thing I would do that ANYONE can do.

If you want louder exhaust.. Get a downpipe and a catback, although you'll need to be careful.. IMO these engines sound like ass with pretty much any exhaust. I've heard some good setups, but not often.

**csssaint12** · 12-20-2010

Do what canton said. A new intake males the engine sounds mean

**Fivefingerdeathpunch** · 12-20-2010

You could always make sounds while your driving, but make sure your windows are down so others can hear you.

**dmahlikGT** · 12-20-2010

^ Lmao.I believe an Hv3 would change the sound of your engine a good amount(not to mention the extra horsies).Saw this video on youtube and it sounds alot better with Hv3 and intake.

**blueguy** · 12-20-2010

It's the intake that is the audible part, not the HV3.

I already said what you need to do since your new...SEARCH AND READ.

Youtube is your friend.

Chambered mufflers suck.

You WANT/NEED a factory resonator or glasspack in the car.

Done.
