Default All Motor Sounds!

What can I do to my car that doesnt include FI that will change the sound of my car into something beastly??? I already have intake, header, exhaust, but I want to do other things that will make it sound even meaner. Im more focused on engine sounds as the exhaust note right now is just where I want it. I hear all motor cars sound pretty sick so what would it require of me to make my car sound even hotter? Thanks!!!

By the way I was quite surprised at how an engine damper alone could drastically change the sound of my motor so feel free to chime in on any ideas you might have. At this moment I am planning on a custom 2.5'' intake mid pipe to replace the stock rubber one that is connected to my Umnitza airbox so Im hoping that'll give me a different sound.

What exactly do cams do and are they for street use as well? What do the different stages in cams signify and what kind of gains can be expected from using different cams?

basicly performance cams open up the valves more and for a longer deration

if there to aggresive then you get a loppy idel and it becomes more of a hassle to daily drive but basicly the longer the valves are open the more air and fule you get in and the more exhaust you get out


some cams wont function properly with out head work sutch as a PnP to alow more are flow
