Question:

When buying an exhaust for a car do you have to buy the whole system?

I just bought a 2003 audi a6 2.7 twin turbo. I wanted to buy a new exhaust to make the car really loud, but i don‘t know much about exhaust systems. I was wondering if i have to buy the whole exhaust system or are there certain parts that you can buy that‘ll make the car loud without spending as much as you would buying the whole system

Answer:

A new MUFFLER not a system. Systems are better for performance, but you just want loud a muffler will do, get an expander, like a megaphone, to a larger pipe size then a muffler in the larger size. This MAY reduce your performance.
If you bought that bike new, there should have been a pamhlet with it explaining your tire warranty
nope my front tire on mine harley lasted 630 carefree miles. Then I installed Bridgestone Battleaxes, and never had another problem With the tires
exhaust systems come in many parts. at the most basic level your car will have them arranged from the engine to the back in this order. headers, piping, turbos, piping, catalytic converter, piping, muffler, tips. a full exhaust change is mostly done on full tunes when all parts are considered for flow restriction and heat capacities. an exhaust from the catalytic converter and back (catback) is used in medium level tuning for noise and better flow, a muffler change is when you just want noise and if you want to be as loud as humanly possible you can do a straight pipe setup which is just a straight pipe instead of a muffler. (in some cases some people will even remove the catalytic converter and replace it with a pipe. these setups are illegal because of the impact on the environment since catalytic converters help to break down exhaust fumes into less polluting gasses) if you want to spend as little money as possible, drill a hole through your muffler. keep in mind that this will break it and should you decide to go back to normal youll need a new one. if it's still not loud enough, go ahead and remove it and replace it with a metal pipe (keeps the hot gasses away from under the car) if this is too loud as is often the case for many people, you can go ahead and buy a new muffler, buying a sports muffler will give you a car that is louder than stock but quieter than a straight pipe setup. personally, I would just go into a straight pipe and buy the sports muffler without drilling into the stock muffler. this way, if I want to go back to normal i can still install the old muffler.
