Default My new header made my car sound like FARTS !!!!

is it the cheap header? $100
it use to sound more bassy and deep.


my first cheap option is an exhaust tip with a silencer

my second option after that "when i get more money"is a deep tone test pipe OR

would i be better off getting a cat back exhaust. i want a deep muffled sound


im wondering if that no matter what i do its still going to sound like farts cause of the header

thanks in advance

lol @ farts..
Anyway could you be more specific?
like high pitched continous fart? Deep loose fart sound? Ricer-ish?
What exhaust is on it now?
What size piping if aftermarket?

$100 header = cheap materials + thin walls = crap sound

If you want a deep sound get a V-8.

like a slow tight spinach fart but through a tin can

im prety sure its the this header cause it sounded fine before, but would the exhaust help any? or would the sound still come out the header


if its the header. would that heat tape stop some of the bad noise?

it sounds like a tin can getting drug down a gravel road , really high pitched sounding.

man thats alot of dough for just a decent sound, it should sound like an angel for 500 bones.

alright. im going to start with a new tip, and see how that improves, then i think all im going to be able to afford is the resignator , then i gotta save for my new engine.

You could get a megan or dc header for that price.. What's the name brand? Maybe there's a gasket missing or some kind of loose or not connecting part.. maybe in the down pipe.... Check the entire exhaust system.should only take you about 10 minutes..

Weld in a glass pack before your muffler and your high pitch/fart sound issue will be resolved.
