What is the cheapest way that I can make my cars exhaust alot louder. Is an exhaust system the only way to go, or are there other options?

if you want the cheapest, just remove the muffler..lol...IMO theres no "cheapest" way to improve the performance of your car...ever heard the saying, u get what you pay for..you could always just change the muffler, or do a cat-back system, the borla and SLP arent too steep, and everyone here is happy with them

The slp is louder than stock and its a good sound as long as you are not looking for the bumble bee sound and the borla from what I have heard is not a lot louder than stock at idle but on the gas it is a bit louder than stock but not much.

You can check the companies' websites for soundclips. don't know if they are there but you should check. And mufflers ARE the easiest way to significantly increase the sound level of the car if that's the only mod you are looking to do at the moment.

Yeah, a lot of ppl have installed lots of different exhaust systems. Borla and SLP make catback kits that are stainless steel, with lifetime warranties... and their tubes are mandrel bent instead of crush bent (like most muffler shops do it) which increases airflow.
My favorite I have heard is the SLP (which I have, and others after hearing my car with it followed suit and got the same kit because they were impressed with the sound and quality). My second favorite is easily the Flowmaster 80 series... which sounds similar to the SLP. They are both very deep sounding.
The Borla is a great quality, but the sound wasn't what I was looking for. It sounds louder with more mods (like headers and CAI).
It's really personal preference on what you like the best though.

I plan on getting exhaust i the spring as well up in the air on SLp or Borla why is Borla quite a bit more pricy than the SLP.

Borla is so much more expensive than SLP because of the name. Both are stainless steel, both are mandrel bent, it comes down more to taste than anything else. Borla is a fancy name, because they make parts for high performance cars.

I like my custom 2.5 inch cat back, with magnaflow exhaust. JMO. Nice, deep sound.

Slp is only stainless steel from the muffler back and also the borla is a better stainless steel it has more stainless in it and less steel but as it goes that what you pay for is what you get and and the slp is the minium and borla uses better components to make the cat back.

The SLP is an all stainless-steel system. Not just from the muffler back.
check the website
http://www.slponline.com/view_produc...RTNUMBER=31027
And the 3.4V6 SLP alero soundclip that on the site a few posts up is my car the day after I had it installed.
