Louder high revs?

I'm curious...I love the way my low end revs sound...But is there a way to get the high revs louder? Or is it normal on an auto to have muffled highend when your still accelereating. Will taking out the resonator help that much in this respect?

you can take the res out of the exhaust if you like.... rather you could free the exhaust up with a performance cat.

i got rid of my exhaust because of the low rev humming at around 2500-3500 rpm. it is just annoying on the 2.2 IMO.

An intake will definatley make you car louder. The only other noise increaser other than exhaust would be getting a high flow cat.

putting a performance cat on wont make that much of a difference. somebody on this forum already did it and said it didnt make any noise difference. you want it to sound loud at hi revs, then get rid of the cat and get a single chamber (straight-thru) muffler.

I have a racing cat and it didn't make any sound difference at all imo. So yeah rmstoico your totally right.

Yea...I got a single chamber muffler right now. I think I might gut the cat soon (damn this sounds funny coming from an Asian... )
