Has a vehicle ever instantly caught your attention while driving on road? It must be a sports car or a vehicle with a roaring sound. Any vehicle with a large, buzzing sound is a heads-turner…

So do you want your automobile to roar while on the road? If your answer is yes, let’s give you some options on how you can make your car exhaust sound louder. Whether you have an ordinary exhaust system or a Vauxhall Zafira B exhaust system, a few modifications and changes to exhaust systems can help you get a louder sound.

Replacing Muffler:

 A muffler is a significant part of an exhaust system that compresses the noise of combustion and exhaust gasses. It is the main element that filters the sound of the vehicle. One of the easiest ways of making your exhaust system louder is by replacing a muffler. Choose a muffler that is less capable of restricting sounds. It might get difficult for you to decide on the muffler to choose, so you must talk to a professional and choose the most suitable muffler. By choosing a muffler, that has less noise resistance does not mean that you buy a cheap and low-quality muffler. Get one that is less sensitive

Straight pipe: 

Another method of increasing noise of car is by switching to a straight pipe. Unlike ordinary exhaust systems, a straight pipe does not have a catalytic converter or a muffler. Therefore, it allows a car engine to produce the amount of noise it can make. As a result, it enables you to roar on the roads. Many mechanics offer changing exhaust systems and fixing straight pipes, offering an easy approach to producing maximum noise. But keep in mind that straight pipes are extremely noisy, so in some locations they are illegal. c

Cat-back:

Today, you will hear most race car lovers talking about cat-back. It is one of the most popular techniques of loudening a car’s sound. It is because it is very cheap and also allows you to use a catalytic convertor. A catalytic converter in the exhaust system converts toxic gases like carbon monoxide into less harmful gasses. Therefore, it is considered illegal to omit catalytic convertors from an exhaust system. Since cat-back exhaust allows to use of catalytic converters, you can make your vehicle produce large sound without violating laws. They include pipes that run from catalytic convertor to muffler and run out to exhaust tips.

Speakers:

It is quite a recent modification to amplify the noise of exhaust gases without omitting a significant part of the exhaust system. Many manufacturers put microphones in the cars, which multiplies the sound of the engine and intake sounds. It is the most environment-friendly approach to boosting the sound of a car. But one shortcoming of the speakers is that anyone can guess that it is the fake sound. Therefore, it would not be able to create an impact that an original sound can make.

Headers:

Another approach to boosting the sound of a UK car show is by doing modifications to the header. In normal exhaust systems, an exhaust manifold is the first component of the exhaust system that channels exhaust gases from different cylinders into one pipe. A header intends to add a header that aims to make it easier for the engine to drive exhaust gases. As a result, it changes the sound of the exhaust and increases horsepower.

Bottom Line: 

Talk to your mechanic or vehicle professional for guidance on which approach from the above-stated ones can be most suitable for your car. Boost your vehicles’ sound and drive with a style.
