Sorry to start yet another thread on V8 Sound but... Mike from Austec will be ordering in some Stainless Sports pipes for my V8S, for a fitting on the 18th, and if im not gonna have em, I need to cancel before he orders them.

ukbob, before you go paying out for all sorts of add on bits I suggest you get a ride in a V8 with straight through pipes. If you are anywhere near Hampshire I am happy to take you out in mine. Pops, bangs and roars.

The cost is for 2 pieces of piping and 2 hours labour so for £100 it sounds the dogs


What I want is more resonance, a throatier rougher sound, but most importantly with more popping and banging. If I go for the sports pipes in favour of the straigh through pipes, Mike said he can adjust things... and make the car pop and bang... which is what I want most... so if he can get the car to pop and bang either way, which sounds better, sports or straights?

I dont really know what to expect with either, am not fussed about cost, but equally I dont know what either will sound like when compared

Can anyone explain how each will differ, and... is there anyone in East Sussex that can give girlfriend and I a demo... We should be able to come out to meet you, wherever.

Big Al.

I'm in Sussex, Chim with a Fernies sports mod.

Most people that have heard it recon it sounds good,

On a meter it peaks at around 120DB!

If you would like to hear it give me a shout.
