Exhaust options for an 07 Prius?

[bomber991]

Yeah, so my dad got a Prius a few months ago, and he keeps complaining about how quiet it is.

So I was wondering what exhaust options exist for the 2007 Prius? Which manufacturers make bolt-on exhausts? I was looking at Sigma Automotive and I found TOM's Exhaust System as well as Ganador Exhaust System. I take it that both of these are just bolt on's right? Are there any other options out there?

Thanks to all those who reply.

How can louder exhaust help when the engine is not running?

Well, of course it's not going to do anything when the engine isn't running. I know it'd be pretty weird to have a louder exhaust on the car since the engine always turns on and off, but still.

That's what an exterior speaker system is for. Louder exhaust, air horn, train whistle, etc.
Things have been getting silly in other threads, so I thought I'd just add.
It would be nice when some jerk passes you and then slows down in front of you to give a blast that would make him think twice.

I recently made an impulse purchase of a Kong Airhorn on Ebay from Siege engine. It is a chromed train horn complete with compressor and tank. It should arrive on Monday or Tuesday.

The air tank and compressor should be fine in the rear compartment. The horn on the other hand might be a problem, as it is rather large. I probably should have done some exploration on the available space for a train horn. Having it on the roof probably would defeat the drag coefficient, and look stupid. It may require some remodification of the mounting bracket. Okay so maybe it wasn't the brightest mod, but hey, I'm a guy, it's what I do.

I purchased an Elise a while back...and now all I can think of is, "darn, this car just doesn't have the cargo capacity I was hoping for..."

Don't mean to be an a-hole here, but could you guys do me a big favor and only post on-topic replies? I don't care much to discuss the logical sense it does or doesn't make to put some sort of after market exhaust on a Prius. I'll make a separate thread if that's what I want to discuss. Thanks.

You don't care much about the logical sense of modifying your Dad's car? Does your Dad know about this?

When I make a decision, logic plays a large part in the process.

Why don't you drop a V-8 in the car if you don't care about logic and sense? And leave the mufflers off if you want it nice and loud.

The Prius is a logical, sensible car...in case your incredible grasp of the obvious has failed you again today.
