A friend of mine has a powerflow on a v8 disco 2 and it's very respectable i expected it to be stupid loud but it's quieter than the jetex on my mk2 !
I had a Magnaflow on my old Mk3 Vr6. It was a decently loud exhaust without being ridiculous. Only problem is that it's a american exhaust. Dunno how it would fit on a UK model. Most fantastic sounding exhaust I've ever heard on a VR6... and I've heard a few. Check out there website for some soundclips. Keep in mind that off the shelf systems get louder over time the more you wear them in.
I think all the stuff packed in the silencers settles down. I know when i was at longlife they said they can put extra stuff in the silencer to make it quieter.
i have a mk2 1.3 with a weber....with the standard exhaust bar the backbox..........its as quiet as a mouse what would it sound like if a replaced the middle box with a straight pipe and just kept the backbox on(its a gti one)
Wouldnt you laugh if you would see a 340 volvo with 135/85/13 tyres and wheels , and the exhaust louder than a supra or skyline ? but I still lovd it , it was RWD an with tyres like that it was easy to spin the s...t out of it R.I.P
i can't remember but i think it had 3 boxes originally .. so that would still leave two so it won't be mega loud if 2 remain
dunno matey.. the ol haynes manual shows picture of tiny front then mid and back boxes can't say if it will be mega loud or not.. best bet is a stainless system by either magnex, mongoose, jetex, scorpion etc
i might try it for the crack! just making sure....taking a box off...replacing with a straight pipe....and just leaving one on makes no actual difference to the engine?....and doesn't do any damage?
I'd be seriously embarrassed driving around in a really loud car. Mines bad enough as it is and its all OEM. A good exhaust setup to help the flow of exhaust gasses fair enough, but driving around in something thats gonna give you a headache and get you arrested for noise pollution is just daft. I might bolt another couple of silencers onto mine so I cant hear anything!
well each to there own mate, i like the drone of a loud exhaust lets me know that my car is moddified lets other people know that its modified and i also like the hike in power be it a little or alot and providing its not nova with a bean can loud then where's the noise polution??
I agree, each to their own. I just love it when im sitting watching tele and some chav rattles by, really soothing. Surely the note you get from the 6 cylinders is lovely enough?? Id be well chuffed with the VR6 note.
