How To Improve Exhaust Note?

[sriharsha]

i may sound a bit off topic. but thought that its better to clear my small doubt here itself instead of starting a new thread.
what can i do to get a good exhaust sound for my alto? i am not interested in doing any mods like FFE, K&N etc. i need a cheap but perfect job to be done. can somebody help me?

Try drilling a small hole near the end.

you meant at the tip of the exhaust pipe? will that produce a good sound? how big hole should i drill?

A small one , its just a try.
a leaking silencer's note is so good , you cant do that in a good car. So try that in the outermost end

he means on the muffler. Its not a nice thing to do, as during rain water will get in.

The outer most part , near the silencer end part . No problem of water seeping i think

Oh yes this can be done but i don know the effect of water entering! I remember my friend's 800 had holes in his silencer due to rusting which produces sound like a racing car!!

We nicknamed it as "Ferrari".

that rusting is headers part . Even my friends uno has one , that is so good to hear

i am saying rear end , that wont give much difference , but a try.

You wont be happy with the sound. You can get mufflers custom made starting from rs 500. But the material out of which it is made wont last much long 2-3 months the max.

The muffler fixation do change the exhaust note. Even in a diesel car. In diesel car the change in note is low compared to petrol engines. But depend in muffler that we use. simple try every one avail at the store.

For drilling , the almost end part , its just like wind deflection

 

[sriharsha]

how much will the cheapest with moderate quality muffler for alto cost? will it affect the engine or FE?

 

[ilango[speed thirst]]

anything above 150/-

Very conjusted one try to increase back pressure at high rpm(In real i have not experiance)

That sound is mainly due smoke/air deflection. Normal one with + sign is normally installed

 

[sriharsha]

ilango i could not get your words. will i be able to get a good one for around 500 bucks? and what about FE and engine?
