Any way to change the sound of my engine ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Are there any mods to make the engine sound more deeper ? Also, which aftermarket exhaust will increase my car performance but at the same time isn't loud.

isn't there the sound tube - thingy?

Yes there is, I've watched a few videos already and they all sound the same..

and not very different to the stock too.

A cold air intake will give you that noise, but not much gains.

You'll want a header back system for gains, cat backs and axle backs are usually just for sound.

For your situation, I'd suggest a CAI, headers, and a tune.

Try a 5.0L engine swap from a Mustang.

If you want a deeper sound ...do your research on el and uel headers.

Lol, in all seriousness though, you're not going to get what people would consider a deep growl out of a 4 cylinder like you do a V8 if thats what you're talking about.

So you want a deeper sound from the engine and better performance but keep the exhaust quiet? I would say a cold air intake with the Invidia Q300 catback exhaust. Q300 will give you better exhaust flow than stock but is still fairly quiet. Cold air intake will give you a better sound coming from the the engine bay. But once you start removing cats by getting UEL header and front pipe, the exhaust will get much louder.

IMHO, a conservative approach, would be a "drop in" air intake filter and an aftermarket axle back muffler like these:

http://shop.namelessperformance.com/...eback-exhaust/

Now, they won't give you much more power ...... but, it will sound like it .....

They are easy to install and relatively inexpensive.

A set of Gallo 24s will do.

Yeah, Gallo 12 won't be enough.
