Default Need a little HELP

Ok guys, so I have been trying to do some research through this website to get more knowledge on my car. I am looking for something to do to my car to give it that sporty exhaust sound. Not the raspy annoying one, the deep nice one that sounds good. I only have about $350 to spend so I know I cant get a full exhaust system which would be nice. Ive been looking at intakes but those dont make too much of a noise difference, just the hp, so any help on what I should get?

A job so you can afford a real exhaust?


Seriously though, I'd keep an eye on the classifieds section, you'll occasionally see something like a used Tanabe or HKS for $400 or so... less than that you're not getting anything but an ill-fitting ebay knockoff.

Is there anything besides an exhaust system?

You could cut an opening into your lower intake box similar to the F-sport box. It'll be louder and it's free!

You could start here:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...i-drilled.html

But honestly, just search the forums. Not sure if there's a DIY or not but it's pretty basic. Pull off the top half off your intake box, unbolt the bottom half, Dremel away...
