Default Bought new magnaflow exhaust

It's a bit louder than the stock system. But I'm running 2 inch piping..assuming thats maybe why it's not crazy loud? Can I do anything to make it any louder?

2000 Dodge neon.
2.0 Sohc


Thanks for your help!
-Nick

2 inch piping?! Do you know that all neons (expect the srt) came with 2.25" piping from the factory? You bought and paid for smaller than stock piping.

Solution: Run 2.5" piping.

Naw I didn't change the piping on the car its stock. I do BELIEVE it's 2inch, I may be wrong? I bought the magnaflow back end of the exhaust and it was welded on to the orginal piping.

Thanks for the help!!

Factory is 2.25". The only way to make a Neon louder is to remove the actual muffler from the car and install something else. I'm not sure what your exhaust system consists of at present?

Everything/Pipe is stock except the rear end, I had the magnaflow muffler put on.
kind of annoys me now.. cause it sounds better but I want it louder.

did i waste my money on the magnaflow muffer?
and could I run new 2.5 piping with the magnaflow and have a good sound.
or should I lose the muffler all together

I'll try to get some pictures and a video up

About the loudest you are going to get is an SRT4 catback. Remember, you are driving a 4 cylinder vehicle. It's only going to be so loud.

want something loud? Buy a obx mid lenght header, obx test pipe (cat delete), thrush glasspack, and srt4 rear section. My car no longer sounds like this because i hated it but i still have obx header, magnaflow high flow cat, thrush glasspack with half moons welded in and srt4 rear section. Anyways here is a video of car with first specs.
