I've always wanted to try a really loud car. Same goes for those loud motorcycles.I can't imagine the constant loud noise everywhere you go. You can't sneak home when it's late. Going out to just pick up some groceries? Well looks like your breaking the sound barrier doing it.
My car's had the back boxes cleared out by the previous owner. It's pretty loud at idle or when accelerating, but you don't notice it while cruising at a steady speed because at 50 km/h it's not significantly above tire noise anymore, and at 90 km/h you only really hear tire and wind noise, no exhaust.
Now if you cut out the resonators, that might cause significant highway drone that would be annoying as hell.
remove your vehicle’s catalytic converter to achieve amazing jet engine sound effects!
In an ICE car the part of the tailpipe which is wider (which I believe is also were the catalytic converter is) is tuned to change the engine noise (mostly to reduce it, but it can also be tuned to make it "purr" rather than "roar", like in sports cars)
Cut that out and the car becomes much louder (and if it's not diesel, I believe it's with the kind engine sound one associates with muscle cars).
The catalytic converter is up front near the engine, but usually when people want to make noisy, they just cut off or empty out the back boxes. Previous owner of my car did it, actually makes the exhaust of my 3.0 TDi sound kinda sporty, not like a diesel. But it IS a bit loud, I try to keep it under 1500 RPM or ideally even 1200 RPM if driving home at nighttime because at low speeds the exhaust actually makes more noise than the tires. At highway speeds you're back to the tires being the noisiest part of the car unless you floor it.
