How do you make your car sound better?
My old Toyota Celica sounds terrible when I’m driving around. It’s so embarrassing! How do you make your car sound better when it accelerates?

Having an old car definitely has some downsides. Thankfully, there are modifications you can make to your vehicle’s exhaust and engine to give it the sound you’re looking for!
Before making any modifications, you should take a trip to the mechanic. It’s possible that any unusual sounds could be indicating an issue with your exhaust system. If your
Toyota Celica
comes back with a clean bill of health, here are two modifications you can make. - Cat-back: One of the most common exhaust modifications, a cat-back will link the muffler to the catalytic converter with an extra pipe, making the exhaust note louder while not affecting performance.
- Air intake: A more expensive but highly effective way to make your car sound better is by adding a new air intake. A new air intake allows more cold air to flow into the engine, which increases performance and horsepower by creating a more efficient combustion process.
If you’re modifying your vehicle, be sure you have the proper
car insurance
to match. To find a policy with custom parts and equipment coverage or explore how you can save, download the Jerry
