you wont get a grown from a 1ltr or a big bore, best you will achieve is a gay fart

Why do you want to draw attention to the fact your car is one of the slowest things on the road

remove a silencer and have a pipe welded on in place or buy a straight through pipe. doubt it would growl though more like a constant fart .
