Cheapest Way to Louder & Lower Exhaust Note

minimal drone on mine... (in a roadster too) they are tunes to be loudest at 4k rpm... which is generally not where you cruise.

Thanks for the input RandyD.

Looking forward to your comments Sfearl1.

I may try these, at least it's easy to go back to stock.
Wakin' up the neighbours, yes!

At normal cruising it will sound like they are not there, completely stock. Lay in the throttle and you get the smile.

Anyone have hfc or a y-pipe with the aam short-tail? That'd be an interesting budget combo.

I have the S-tune exhaust. Its definitely not what you are looking for. Its really quite, just much deeper and smoother than stock, but not louder.

Actually "the cheapest" & "THE WORST WAY" is just get rid of the effen exhaust all together & run headers only.

Poor driving skill.

Well, if you popped off the entire exhaust, it wouldn't just leak uncatalyzed exhaust, it would blow uncatalyzed exhaust. At least if a cop pulls you over, you can still say you have a catalytic converter, lol

Just get AAM S-Line short tails. They are well made, and super easy to install. The sound is amazing, but at cruising its quiet. The road noise washes most of the exhaust note out. They are super quality and come in Ti tip now and both look amazing. I am very pleased with mine and my Z is a DD. Also, if you ever change your mind and want to swap exhaust for another set up you will be able to sell the short tails for a good return. Just my opinion, get them.

Do you have test pipes or hfc's? I'm expecting it to be pretty loud w/ non-resonated test pipes...
