alero exhaust work help

[GT40 MKII]

ok im getting confused and a bit undecided... i wanna do some exhaust mods to my alero with a 2.2 ecotec but i dont want it to sound like a rice job. Anyone have any ideas what to do? what products i need to get?

The reason rice jobs sound like they do is because they're small fours. Yours is a small four. Not much yer gonna be able to do except drop a nice 6 or 8 into it. Probably a bigger project than you had in mind.

This one sounds perfect to me... But my stepdad told me I could do the same with a 26 inch glasspack... I think he's full of it

Well... it all depends on how much power you want. The more flow you want from your exhaust, the worse it'll sound.

Supercharger?

He's not. Exhaust sound comes from the muffler, its volume, packing, baffles, whatever. Changing just the muffler will change the sound. I put a Supertrapp (basically a tunable glaspac) on my '95 Probe GT and had people asking me all the time "What have you done to that engine?!!??!" The car was bone stock other than the muffler.

hmm..... i like the idea but how hard are supertrapps to tune

They have plates over the outlet, exhaust exits between the plates. Fewer plates is higher backpressure, more bottom end torque, quieter. More plates is less backpressure, better top end, louder.

Someone not familiar with them will ask you why the exhaust has a cap on it.
