What would be the best way to make my 89 XJ sound like it has alot more power than it does?...new exhaust, new headers, what? i dont want to spend a whole lot either but anything would help.
thanks

 

flowmaster cat back exhaust...pretty cheap, ridiculously loud. hope you like the droning sound though.

 

what do you mean by droning sound?...i like the muscle rumble i guess....

 

if you want it LOUD then i would just look around from some flowmaster dual exhaust pipes off a z71 or something and not put a muffler in, just have a Y pipe in it.....buddys got a yota with a 4 banger and the dual flows make it almost sound like a v8, just not as deep

now if you want it just to be a little bit deeper and more noticeable, then i cant really help you there

 

x2. 2.5" pipes, with a bigger tip 3" tip to make it a little deeper, header and a high flow cat. Droning is like the constant deep sound emitted from the exhaust that is heard while driving. Its hard to describe.

 

Basically what they are saying for the drone effect is.. Hum a very low note.. hold it.. for hours.. and see if it really gets to you.. it really annoys some people others dont mind it like myself... think if going down a highway and hearing a very low HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

yeah These are all excellent ways to make it loud. Also the more air you shove in there Cold Air Intake Throttle body spacer make it more of a "loud" sound but the best way is always going to be 2.5 Exhaust all the way back with Flo master I have a Cherry Bomb Glasspack i love it but it's an opinion here's an excellent site to buy from it's a guys on the forums site.

I'm rocking a cherry bomb glasspack as well. Decent Sound. Sounds louder than my buddies straight-piped dakota. It has quieted down since i first got it though

 

stay away from cherry bombs....
flowmaster super 40 series

 

I'm actually thinking about puttin on a flowmaster. How do you like it?

 

i loved my 40 series on mine....no cat though

 

I agree but it came with it when i bought it I like it enough not to care about changing it until i get enough money for a full on headers and everything. when i get all that it'll be a Flomaster for sure though.

 

my flowmaster 40 with a "high flow" cat is about a point louder than my stock exhaust.

 

i just bought my XJ and it has a cherry bomb on it already....is that louder or is something like a 2.5 w/ a flow master super 44 and Y tip going to be a lot louder

 

Having no muffler would be loud. Just saying.
