more sound please from my v8i
davidlandy:
absolutely
the first little ditch u hit will rip that off - you need to think about re engineering that
Range Rover Blues:
Loud isn't my personal taste but each to their own I guess.
One thing that always stikes me about the Saxo brigade though, all that noise has to come from somewhere, usualy the fuel tank. A noisy exhaust probably doesn't do that much for power.economy and even the V8 can be over-piped.
Bulli:
back pressure from within the exhaust does tend to have benefits for torque. A v8 will have some to spare but not with big tyres.
Mine has a nice burble and i chose mine to be nice but not overly load. I had a conversation with one of my neighbours who kept coming hame at midnight in his very load scooby....he drives like a saint now on our road...it was either that or a big falling out :twisted:
i wouldnt go too load as its just being an anti social prat.
davidlandy:
for me I think loud is just 'tacky' its the quality of the noise thats important.
Evilgoat:
As said previously.
The Audi burbles hapilly at idle and its loud enought to notice that its not just another saloon but other than that unless you are behind me when I floor it or on the motorway it doesnt matter. The power curve starts at 3500 revs and thats where the pipe is tuned and goes from a gentle burble to a loud crackling roar as she picks up the pace. Thats all that anyone needs really, just advertises the fact that all is not as the person behind may suspect and to get the gas out as fast as possible while keeping the back pressure. Both the Zook and Serenity are scheduled for the same treatment (Zook its more to do with clearance)
My brother has a Fiesta where the previous owner asked for 'as loud is as legal' I hate driving the thing and after about 10 minutes I'm developing a cracking headache. You might want to bear this in mind as theres a lot more disco then there is fiesta to resonate.
Piglet is a good example. Not overly loud but again, a performance system so it let you know it means business at the right moment.
