Anything I can do to get a little bit more growl out of the engine?
Ive searched for intakes, and got nothin.. and seems the only exhaust options are replacing the mufflers and tailpipes with generic garbage..

Please tell me there is at LEAST an intake option?

Exhaust sounds better than intakes on these cars.

"replacing the mufflers and tailpipes with generic garbage"
lol, ok... admittedly my Raptor mufflers are cheap but if "generic garbage" like my mufflers that cost $32 sounds that good, hey I'll keep usin em.
Going on, hmm, I wouldn't say borla or maganaflow or flowmaster are garbage. Just because things are "generic" or universal doesn't mean they're crap.

But I guess my intake is crap too, cause it doesn't have a brand name. :)
Looooove that extra horsepower though.

Real men don't have exhaust systems on their car.
I'm thinking about putting in a exhaust cutout. When I'm at the track, or I want to showoff I could have an open exhaust system (No cats or mufflers). When I see a cop, I would frantically hit the button to close it again. I live in one of those towns that doesn't have much crime, so the cops really don't have anything better to do than to police local traffic.

Part in Jegs cataloge

Sick vid of it on youtube (different brand)

Raptor by Flowtech. I understand they are made by the same parent company that owns one of the big names. Cheapie "turbo" style street mufflers, but they do the job.

lol.... Real men can go fast in quiet cars, but whatever.

Too bad the sonata sounds terrible without any mufflers. I would rather drive a stock sonata than pay to listen to one through cutouts.

How about one of those turbo sounding attachments for the muffler??

That exhaust whistle might make others think you have a turbo in the beast...

My neighborhood HS punk has one on his Toyota Tercel. He at least thinks its fast because of the sound. You just laugh your **** of at some morons.....
