Need to make louder!

[rovercanus]

Hi. I'm a little twit. I want everybody to look at me. I'm 17 and have 2 cars. I'm hot shit.
How can I make my Disco that mommy got me with her alimony louder before I plow it into a tree?
Oh yeah, my other car is a bitchin' Honda with vtec. When vtec kicks in it's like it's got a turbo. You should hear the presence eminating from the 5" farty pipe.
I'm so cool.

Loud trucks aren't cool? I can do you one better.


Hi. I'm a yuppie douchebag. I want everybody to look at me. I'm on my way towards middle age, but I can't afford to lease the luxury SUV that my fraternity alumni council recommended, so I bought a used Disco.

If no one looks at the oil stains on my driveway, I can spend my Christmas bonus checks at Expensive Rover Outfitter X, and just tell my wealthier neighbors that it's a "four wheeling rig" so they don't thumb their noses at my ostentacious attempt to ingratiate myself into high society.

(By the way, I had to take out four mortgages to get a lot in this comically postmodern little development. At least it has good schools. By good I mean no blacks or Mexicans. Plus, I'm glad my kid needs me to drive him ten miles to get to the park. Learn him the values of a good vehicle!)

Sorry, but loud trucks are cool. More power to you. That's why we drive fucking trucks. Because we like to be loud and obnoxious and tear up grass and fling dirt and get muddy and drink beer (on the fucking trail while I'm driving it, eat a dick).

And we drive Discos because they're fucking cheap and they're just a little bit cooler than Jeeps.

Most of us, anyway.

The rest of you need to stop kidding yourselves. Since when did ARB Freezer Fridge four-wheeling in Moab become the baby-boomers' frisbee on the quad? Nobody likes camping with someone with a "loud, obnoxious truck"?

Go backpacking!

You're getting ten miles per gallon just like me, Willy Nelson. At least my truck sounds like its got someone driving it who would like to kick your ass. I'm sorry I ruined your camping trip. But please, next time bring an ARB portable john. The turds you left over by yonder tree are obnoxious because I stepped in them.

This is fucking four wheeling. We drive trucks because we're too fucking lazy to backpack and too fucking granny behind the wheel to rock-crawl.

Run a fat fucking pipe, my friend, and make everyone hate you. There is truth there.

run dual 3 inch straight pipe!

Now at 17 did u want a quiet car..........hell no!

Hell yes! When I was 17 the hot cars where hot rodded Nova SS's. I thought the glass packs were obnoxious then, and still do. Only difference is that stereos weren't as obnoxious. When I was in my early 20's I bought a BMW R80/7, in part because it was quiet.
So you're wrong, not all 17 year olds want to annoy others. I drove a Traveall when I was 17, until I was 19 and got my first series Rover.

 

[Blatant]

Too funny.

Unfortunately, I'm in a similar position. My exhaust from cats back is junk and needs replacing. I'm certainly not going to spring for a new resonator, so that's going bye-bye, but I need a new muffler, too. Again, not paying for a LR piece, so what to do? I don't want to be obnoxious (I am, after all, a grown-ass man), but I wouldn't mind a "slightly" louder rumble.

seems to me like most people are older here....but im 17 and have a disco. thats right...2nd car and its a 99 disco. Now at 17 did u want a quiet car..........hell no!....so what muffler is the best...and who has any soundclips

I got my new disco at 16, 5 years ago (damn im old) and havnt touched the exhaust. I did actually take it off road about a week after i got it something yowu shoudl try. As for fast, since your made of money and on your second car already, get a vette. As for loud, buy a harley. If you jsut want ta car that will make everyone look at you but you have no itentions of doing anything with, then you shoudl have bought an h2, cuz theres not much more useless then them, but hey, you can take up 2 spots at yous HS parking lot, which will really draw attention.

ps, your gay or very insecure. a loud exhaust will not make the cheerleaders want to bang you.

now if you wanted to say "I want a BETTER sounding exhaust" that woudl make more sense and there are a few options out there for that.

 

[Alan]

Speaking of exhaust, has anyone here used Magnaflows? Or what do you think of them?

 

[Blatant]

I had Magnaflows (can't remember model number) on my previous tow-rig, a 3/4-ton Chevy with 6.0. They were LOUD, but they did sound nice. Low-pitched, rumbly, I liked them quite a bit, though I would have preferred if they were a bit quieter.

[rdoane]

also, borla's, can anybody here vouch for their price tag? seems pretty steep to me. im 17 as well and own a d2, now i dont want a screetching loud muffler but just something that rumbles on the trail at low rpms, not a fan for the high rpm howl. living in Tennessee flowmaster has made a killing in this area and i get pretty sick of it when all you hear is that damn POS bondobucket driving down the street with the rebel flag standing in the bed (yes ive seen this...more than once). But for christs sake, my dad's GMC Denali has more of a rumble than my disco.

hey buddy, stressing the fact that this is your 2nd car, isnt going to get you anywhere i know exactly where your comming from on whole 17 deal, but be happy with what you have, your 17 and driving a DISCO, both my parents were walking at 17 so i feel very blessed, and have paid for every modification on the disco, i would be paying for the truck itself minus the fact that it was a gift from my grandmother. if it isnt broke man dont fix it and just enjoy what you have been blessed with

man! I love it when Boston slams some beers and then starts typing! That is some funny stuff right there...!

About 5 years ago, I had a local muffler shop install a Magnaflow muffler of the same length and no resonator on my Range Rover Classic, with 3 inch pipe from the "y" pipe flange back. Magnaflows are basically built like a "glass-pack" muffler (you can see through the muffler from one end to the other). It sounded great, but on the drive from the muffler shop, it was too loud inside the vehicle to talk normally or listen to the radio/cd. I went back and had the shortest length Magnaflow installed where the resonator goes. It still sounded great and very throaty, and the sound level was reduced to an acceptable level inside the vehicle.

This system improved the "breathing" of the engine too. The vehicle "launched" better from a stop. I also got a 1 mile per gallon improvement in gas mileage.

[zepp21]

so for the "better sounding exhaust" what would you recommend.. i am still a little confused

 

[DiscoJen]

Missing the point

I think you're missing the point...no one here is recommending a loud exhaust. We are old and crusty and feel that a desirous feature is to "be seen and not heard"...similar to how we feel about children. *doh* Just got to a local performance shop or muffler shop and let them recommend something suited to your tastes.

[dhuddleson]

Better sounding can be addressed with commercially available stainless steel systems such as the Borla or NRP brands. They do sound quite nice! Or, as others have suggested, have a custom setup made with Magnaflow or Flowmasters.....

The Borla or NRP's are around $600 I think, but they are nicely built and fit easily!

 

[Joey]

We are old and crusty
Jen

Speak for yourself... I refuse to grow up or get old, let alone crusty....

 

[NorCalDiscoII]

Speak for yourself... I refuse to grow up or get old, let alone crusty....

lol... yes, Jen, please correct yourself ASAP

I too, at one point wanted to get a Borla. Purely for sake of fancy sound. Kind of like I wanted the 19" RR rims

Well, the rims are gone and the Borla ain't comin'... Function over Form prevails! Listen to what everyone else says above, especially in regards to the long trips and how annoying and tiring a loud exhaust can get.

 

[RVRSRVC]

Where are you in PA? I'm near Hershey.
I run a Flowmaster 40 on a 4.6 Disco. I will be fitting something quieter soon, though! Sounds good but wears on you quickly.
