Free louder exhaust

Was watching Chris Harris and he talked about a simple trick to make exhaust louder: fold down rear seats. I've been debating a muffler delete on my SSTC with catless dp, but doing this may have scratched the itch as it noticeable increase the in-cabin exhaust growl. One of those, why didn't I think of that before moments!

This is like saying that putting your windows down makes your exhaust louder. Doesn't make it louder, just easier to hear.

I heard that if you run a hose from the downpipe into the cabin that it will also make the cabin exhaust sound louder

You could always pull a BMW, and stick a microphone into the exhaust pipe, and run an output to your aux port on the radio and blast it through your speakers.

hahaha

I think he meant for those who are thinking of getting a louder exhaust, that folding the seats down would help simulate what it would sound like inside the cabin
