Yeah, sell it and buy a V8. Seriously, it sounds like ****. Sorry, don't mean to be a *****.. but it sounds terrible.

Invest in a quality cat back exhaust, maybe some headers.. flowmaster catback would sound a LOT better than that. I really don't get why people like the popping and crackling... sounds like absolute ****. I like my engine to sound refined, not like it's choking up a fur ball.

Here's how mine sounds


Member GhostRider made my headers, no primary cats, SuperSprint Resonator and Muffler. Wondering how it would sound without the Resonator.

Here is another 320 friend BigMike's sound from his custom muffler to give you another idea of differences.

I believe you can have a custom made muffler to sound exactly like you want it. It's really just a note like in a wind instrument which can be changed.
