Help!!

Ok so i have a gmpp performance catback on my car, i really do like it but i can barely here it. I have been pondering something louder and they are down between 2 parts

1 - megan alot of mixed feeling about it but frankly i like there sound, and inexpensive

2 - ark dt-s - less sounds , considerably more expensive

so that said should i spend the 600+ for the dt-s get the megan, keep the gmpp and get a new header and add a Dp

Or say screw it and save for something like coilovers to go with my new asa ar9's

or something different all together. ALSO no dont say save up and buy a Turbo not happening maybe when im out of school making 40+ grand a year a SC would go in. But if thats the case i will be in a evo.

thank you in advanced.

take a 3 foot portion of re-bar and knock out the hunnycomb inside the cat. this will free up flow and also make the exhaust louder if you dont wanna spend any money.

remove your downpipe, and the fat bulging section of your DP is whats know as the "cat" or catalytic converter. when you look inside there is a mesh type screen that looks sort of like a honeycomb. take a metal rod of a good length and knock all that **** outta there. now you have a hollowed out cat.

meh i liked mine too before i seen the light! HALLELUJAH!

all i'm tryin to tell you is this, megan products are direct copies also known as knock-off products being sold at a lower price than the real products they copied. this is damaging the known good companies sales by reducing their income sold from the product they produce from trial, tests, and research. all i can say is megan=rice. dont be a lemming.
