Can my GTO sound good ?

[RobGTO]

Its a mk1 GTO [auto], im not really bothered about power as such, im just really after a sound that puts a bigger smile on my gob.
The first 3 things I could think of: [typical stage1]
new induction kit and y pipe
de-cat
some kind of exhaust but not sure who to go to

I've got enough power for now [still student 24], so there's 0 point upgrading to another car for a fair while yet [+ i love these cars anyway], so its a couple of things like above just to increase the width of my smile VIA cool sound :D

[RobGTO]

I'll take a look at their stuff, is it the usual sort of price for one of their systems... £500ish ?

[RobGTO]

ah yes I've read about them over at the gtouk site, well at the moment im flat out broke, but hopefully next week i'll either be selling my golf or working with my dad, but the golf has to go anyway.
If you can mail me how much your wanting for one, I'll see if I have the funds at the time.

However, the only thing I did want is a slashed oval pipe either side, but you know if those mongoose exhausts sound cool, then I dont mind for now

yeah imo it definatly needs one pipe either side since it has cutaways for them.

Well I have a good friend who knows a fair bit about cars, so we'll both go down to a place in bournemouth that does good work, and I'll see what I can find out.

[RobGTO]

email me if you can mate.

What will make more of a difference to sound...
a new manifold like "3SX NA LONG Headers Set"
www.3sxperformance.com/exhaust-na.asp

Or new exhaust ?

Im after a gurgly sound.

[RobGTO]

im told the one in bournmouth is good, and that most of the others are crap.
I'll probably leave the manifold alone for now tho.

[RobGTO]

lol, well im just outside guildfordfarnham, so bournemouth is a fair distance from me... I trust my friend since that was done to his evo grali 2 for £300 !

[RobGTO]

certainly is a word...

How on earth do engines "gurgle" ?

A chap in the states did some little clips of his 700bhp GTO, and that sounded good, most of the ones over here didn't sound that appealing to me.
Bit weird eh ?

[RobGTO]

hmm.

so it IS going to be a combo of manifold and exhaust then ?

[RobGTO]

Do you live in frimley ? or perhaps aldershot ?

I've seen 2 really nice ones parked up in those areas.

Well when I get my money together, I'll talk to as many people as possible.
