I have a 2001 v6 ex honda accord. i want to make the exhaust a little louder but dont have the money to upgrade the exhaust system. any products i should buy? and where? also will putting in a cold air intake make it anylouder?
well first off, i think Hondas sound like a swarm of west Nile mosquitoes heading my way, not sure why anyone likes that sound, but the best ways to make it louder are to buy performance exhaust parts. The ones to look for are tubular headers, high flow catalytic converters, and high performance mufflers. flowmaster is one of the loudest brands out there. there is a way to make it even louder, but since you drive a Honda you are probably like most other Honda people and don't wanna do any actual work to your engine, just appearance enhancements. you could buy a camshaft to give your valves higher lift. although this often requires new valve springs as well. Im not sure if headers and cams are available for such small and underpowered engines, usually people use them on V8's. but it might be worth checkin out, just head over to auto zone, or advanced auto parts, they can tell you.
i dont think the alarms deter the jackers. however, a security system that wont let the car be started without a key is a pretty good deterent. maybe some day in the future they will design an alarm that automatically calls the police if the car is tampered with.
