Best way to sound good and be cheap - find a large hill..push it to get going and coast down hill with no engine running and stick your speakers out the windows and play full volume the cool exhaust sound clip you recorded from someone who didn't go cheap on their car

Seriously though cheap and great sound do not go together.

The sound in that video is pretty garbled, it's hard to say. If its not garbled and that's just how it sounds I'd say get that muffler fixed. Get the muffler fixed and get some high flow cats, would sound much better. Not to mention the way it is now will fail inspection.

Can't, my speaker system isn't that good. LOL :P jk

I know it doesn't, but considering my budget I wanted to know. I'm hoping to get my first job soon so I just wanted to know how it could sound beast

I'm actually about to get a new exhaust for mine. But, my question is, are the Super 10's street legal in Ohio? I know if I go to PA, i'll get pulled over in a heart beat.

In most states anything that does not follow the same path as the factory exhaust is illegal, as well as if it is louder than factory.

In some states this is completely different, like VA is a set decibel level and anything higher is illegal, which is funny because I can't remember what year and model it is, but one of the corvettes is louder than our legal limit straight off the assembly line.

Yeah, my grandfather's 69 Grand Prix was like that. When it rolled off the assembly line, it was louder than PA's sound limit. He even got a ticket for it.

Just buy some nice exterior speakers and place them up above your wheels or behind your rear bumper somewhere, get a real badass sounding exhaust clip and enjoy, haha
