How can I make my V6 as loud as it can be?
How can I make my V6 as loud as it can be?
Okay, I have a 1997 4.0L V6. I strank the exhaust length by bringing the tail pipe out in front of the passanger side rear tire. I have a Cherry Bomb Glasspack but honestly it's just not loud enough. I live in Pennsylvania so I have to pass emission. (Removing CATS is out of the question). How can I make my ranger as loud as it can possibly be. DISTURBING THE PEACE LOUD!
V8 swap is in my mind. However I would have to change my transmission. Im trying to keep it cost effective. Im in college and have two mustangs. Although my truck is the play around toy. Just trying to keep the price of supplies at a minimum. I like the V8 swap idea though
i don't think that would do much, probably more trouble than it's worth. glasspacks do sound ok in place of the factory muffler, they are sure cheap but you have to keep in mind, its still just a v6 and can only sound so good.
i took my cats off ran 3inch pipe into a glasspack then y-pipe into 90degree duals its not terribly loud but your never going to find that v8 sound out of a v6 theres no way. another option is u run a larger pipe and then a big tip on it.

I had a 92, 4 banger with no muffler. Ran side exhaust out behind the tire on each side like the factory exhaust. Think I had 1 and 7/8, or 2 inch tailpipes and it was stupid LOUD!!! Wouldn\'t go that route again, got pulled over several times and warned. The cops said they could hear me coming a mile away!

I ran mine with no muffler/tailpipe for a while. I think thats about as loud as you can make one of these trucks, while keeping it a v6. I was waiting for my exhaust to come, so I kinda had to. Sounded like crap, especially at highway speeds. I was so thankful when I finally got the dynomax installed, the drone was getting on my nerves. You probably don't care, but I found that nobody really wants to hear your exhaust but you. Especially with 7 billion peeps on the planet, its not like people are talking about how awesomely cool you sound as you drive by them lol...
made me lol, also very true.
