How's your cat? You should notice a sound difference, but a better flowing cat, especially if your still on the original cat, will enhance the sound too.

Re: why is my car so ****ing silent

my car has now 74000 miles under the hood.
is it realy because the cat? did the stock cat sounds the car so down?
my car with the flowtech is just a little bit, just a little, louder then with the stock muffler

Re: why is my car so ****ing silent
1) You are not making any power
2) You still have stock pipes
3) You have a cat, those hole back sound doing their job.

Well, a high flow cat and a larger cat back system will help.

Re: why is my car so ****ing silent
I guess you could say it is "louder"...I guess it is, just never really thoughgt of that aspect. I'd think of it as a "truer" sound, allowing the engine to breathe better, & the muffler, of your choice, soud more like it should/could/supposed to.
