If you want the Focus to sound good, get a nice stereo system

 

This isnt true. I have a 1.8L vehicle and it sounds nice. The tone is nice and deep. Really throaty sounding. Plus the gas mileage is awesome. Now a Honda will give you that ricey sound but mine is not like that at all. But I also live in California and gas is so expensive.

 

So whats on yours?

 

Wait Magnaflowrep don't die on me!! How did you do it?

go for a magnaflow

 

I lived in Europe for a while, and they got some nice sounding 4-bangers over there.

My buddies Lotus Elise uses a Toyota 4-banger, but it sounds very good and throaty, not ricey at all. Sounds like a old-school Euro sportscar, like a old Aston Martin or something, but not crappy or tiny at all.

 

I had a 70 something Fiat. Loved hereing it wound up.

 

normally it's just the large fart can mufflers that sound like crap. while some sound great on v6 motors, they def have no place on a 4banger

 

try magnaflow or borla. borla makes a nice kit for the scion tc that sounds pretty good. not ricey at all. its the kids that put the pep boy specials on their car that give it a bad name. my friend has an srt4 with a real nice exhuast and it sounds awesome.

 

Those SRT-4s sound great with the right exhaust. My friend has a thrush system on his and it sounds amazing.

 

what about putting an intake on it?? Would that help the sound of it at all??

 

Just put a system in it and blast it. No point in throwing intake, exhaust, etc just to be called a ricer. That car was built for MPGs not horsepower

 

there was a 4 dr pos honda with fart can reving its way through the target parking lot tonight and me and my buddy yelled rice and received the finger, i seriously cant figure out why.

 

check greddy...ive heard some deeper ones from them but still coming straight from the rice fields.....and maybe an intake...ive heard intakes put on form stock and the difference it makes in sound is alot....but still youre basically screwed for the whole throatier thing....unless youre talking about like a prepubesent 9 year olds' throat
