Making my ROLLA exhaust/muffler louder...

[anewfoundsin]

I spent $500 on a TRD Exhaust and its not even as loud as I wanted it to be. What brands do u recommend if you want a nice LOUD exhaust sound or what modficiations can I do? I am thinkin selling my TRD Exhaust and get a louder one.... any suggestions?

branded mufflers are not that loud because of certain noise pollution regulations. and reputable tuners like TRD concentrate more on the potential added hp gains than on the sound. and if they ever get loud, it's above 3k rpm. if you want a louder muff or exhaust, buy the generic ones. or maybe, try replacing your resonator with a smaller one. but if you really want it loud, take out the muffler altogether.

The TRD muffler is great and if you make your XRS sound loud, it will become like too ricey and annoying. Magnaflow is bring out a full catback exhaust for the XRS this summer. Their exhausts are the best sounding one's in the business.

I would check the city codes as to what the true sound/decibel limit is on Automobiles and get your own reading on your cars decibels.. You just might have a case if they differ alot as to what the police told you...Also does this same decibel rule apply to motorcycles? I have heard some really loud ones...Good Luck....Radd Guy...



I followed this path before when I pulled over in The Bronx by a bored cop, so allow me to answer your questions.

NYPD doesn't give warnings, they give tickets.
NYPD doesn't use decibel meters, they use pens.....to write tickets...
NYPD doesn't tell you the city code. They say it's loud, then in the eyes of the city "it's loud".

I fought my case for 2 years for the same offense.
The cop never showed up to either of the 4 appearances, and he's no longer a cop.
Didn't matter anyway, the judge still found me guilty....with NO PROOF, except a cop's heresay....

The ticket claimed that he could hear me from 440ft away.

That's the length of an NFL football field plus 110 extra feet.

I'm not the only car on the road, but from 440ft away, he can see me...

I had to pay the fine.
I can appeal, but the fine must be paid in order to appeal...

This is one of the reasons why I now live in PA.
I love NYC, and I love my Yankees, but I say to the corruption.
Now they can kiss my Camry's ass, and suck my Datsun.

why would you want to make your car louder???? I got a straight thru muffler for my car and its louder than I wanted it to be.. maybe we can swap mufflers.. my Ractive for your TRD muffler.

You want loud? Cut your muffler and resonator and slap in straight pipes. No brand needed, just make sure it's right diameter.
