i dont know why you want to make it louder, but what you need to do is go to your local muffler shop, have them remove the resonator and replace it with a straight pipe. if that doesnt do it, then nothing will.

I guess next week ill go and get the resonator cut off to.. I figured taking off the cat converter would help it but it didnt do much of a diffrence.

Do you want performance or just want be annoyingly loud?

You took off the converters? huh?

Little Turbo Muffler?....what type, brand? size...?..still have stock piping?

You're going to have to supply people with more information if you wish to get help..

Please Please Please...do some research before you do another thing..

Do you find yourself saying HUH a lot?

I'm missing the point of loudness... the point should be best possible performance.. if you want ghetto loud then just cut the muffler off..

Then you're going about it the wrong way...

Let me guess you're throwing a CEL now? What did you do with the O2 sensor installed after the cat? People these days only use cherrybombs as resonators.. I'm getting a stinking suspesion you've been talking to some old school domestic hot rod guy... taking the convertor off wasn't nessesary..

Save yourself some money, research before you spend another dime.. research what other Sentra owners have done and what has been proven over time and on the dyno..

please take the advice from above and read the links...

Loud is bad. I got a ticket for loudness 3 weeks ago. If you have an intake, header and exhaust, it will be plenty loud. If you want to have a nice deep tone, buy a Stromung muffler or full exhaust.

Stromung sounds like it's out of his budget...

Save up the money and get a stainless steal pipping with mandrel bends. You wont be sorry. It wont be too loud. I found that when i went with aluminized pipping, it made my cars exhaust too loud. Stainless is now on my car and it sounds great and feels better.

Did you go with a different brand between the stainless and aluminized?

I went with Mossy Performance. It cost around 850.00 out the door, but it was well worth it. They use stainless steel. It sounds great and you can even hold a conversation in the car while you are driving. It even gives a good gurgle outside the car also.
