Exhaust noise

[R33dk]

I love exhaust sounds and the variety ...
Being able to hear my fathers Ducati 5mins before he got home ..
Guessing which one of your mates has turned up without getting up to look...
Oh an turned this car ... Which otherwise would be rather dull(spectacularly comfy) but dull nonetheless ... Into something that sounds amazing ...

Exhaust noise also notifies the police an lets them know where to find you when your being a bellend..
Fine paid an points.. I'm a wker an all that .. But that noise ......

The Subaru ones are worse if anything, the "Gruff, off-beat note" sounds more like it's running on three cylinders.

I like the boxer burble

+1

One comes rumbling down my road every day, sounds fking great!

I think anything with less than six cylinders should be silenced completely. It is never going to be a pleasant sound. Pure inconsideration to make it any louder.

And, no, I felt no need to make my own TVRs any louder than standard, and they do sound nice.

Really? Someone forgot to tell this guy...

I was behind a ratty old V8 Porsche Cayenne the other day that had some horrendous chav exhaust on it - there is some tacky custom stainless exhaust outfit on an industrial estate nearby so you hear and see some absolute horrors. I've never heard a V8 sound worse. He wasn't making any sort of progress and it was as flatulent and tinny as any Corsa 1.2 I've ever heard. It cannot possibly have sounded good, even compared to the nice stock burble it had. Buyers remorse and denial, or just a moron I wonder?

I changed the exhaust on my 106 Gti for something louder. A 2" Outward rolled s/s Pugsport, with a decat and no silencer.
It was relatively civilised below 4k rpm and above that it sounded raspy and brilliant, it even popped and flamed on gearchange

It made the car sound infinitely better, made the car a bit quicker and was not chavvy at all

You know how insane people don't know that they're insane?

What's hilarious about this whole thread is the people with ste cars describing the chav nonsense they've done and thinking that they're the one exception who isn't chavvy.

You're all chavvy guys. If you make your car louder and only louder you're a complete c**t and the rest of us who posses a modicum of intelligence and who live/work where you drive all think so.

How about instead of slamming, tinting and putting a fart can on your 1.2L 2004 Corsa you put all that money you'd otherwise have wasted into an actually half decent car in the first place?

There are a couple of dheads who drive up/down George St in Edinburgh, I think one of them has a grey Golf with red-ish wheels and makes a racket (if you read this you're a prick btw). The whole point of what they've done to their molested cars is noise, and you can immediately tell a car that's been made to be loud and an actually fast car that is naturally loud. Stick that stbox golf next to a Porsche or one of the many other actually nice cars on that street and it really puts it in its place. At least my diesel isn't trying desperately to be something it isn't.

You've got a major chip on your shoulder, that much is clear but, like I also say, if you're one of the morons who starts up power tools outside, early on a weekend then you too are making senseless and inconsiderate noise. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Let people be, and be happy.

Yes we were all young once and did stupid things but back then it was all about mopeds and small bikes, which generally lobbed you into a field when you mis-behaved.

About the most sensible things said in the last couple of pages.

Nonsense. The first one is a complete assumption based on no evidence, and the second is an objective annoyance which crosses all generational boundaries. It's nothing to do with what young people are doing, because there are plenty of young people who think you dheads are precisely that. Don't try the generation bucket, because it doesn't hold water.

Back to Mumsnet with you, heathen

I didn't realise I'm a chav ..........I own a TVR Chimera 500 for the summer weekend fun and a V8 Mustang that came with a lovely exhaust noise........ Oh and I'm nearly 70 obviously I need to get my bumps felt , but I LOVE the noise

[Poopipe]

If I've got a massive turbo I need a massive hole to pump the gases out so my car goes fast. I don't give a toss what it sounds like

I'm a chav too. V8 Mustang with non standard exhaust that sounds glorious. Now where's my Kappa tracksuit...

[_dobbo_]

I had a non standard exhaust on my v8, I guess I'm a chav too. Better than being a sweary plum who can't read a date though.

What about how it smells?

[anonymous-user]

Just going to say, the Griff, now it’s fully decatted and with a map to make some noise, is, epic.

[renmure]

Pah, I even did diagrams in order to achieve chav nirvana.

[njw1]

Another chav here , the exhaust on my 540i is non standard so as to release some V8 noise, it's my car, I get enjoyment from driving it and work hard to put lots of petrol in it so couldn't really give a flying fk what other people think about the (absolutely awesome) exhaust note.

[delta0]

Depends on the engine. The sound some engines can make can be incredible and the feeling that noise gives only gets better with a good exhaust. Rotary engine for me truly unbelievable how good they can sound (although a nice V6, V8, V10, V12 is also good)

When the o2 sensor went on my impreza that was a bit of an issue

renmure said:

stuff

Pfft, knockoff Team Dynamics wheels and a £4.99 Halfords fuel filter cover

My F-Type is hilariously loud (most V8 versions are), to the point where Jaguar quietly, er, quietened the newer F-Types. Completely standard.

My Impreza has an aftermarket backbox on. It's louder than standard but is comparable to my daily diesel Merc for day-to-day driving.
