On a 1993 range rover classic lse how would you go about getting the v8 noise?

Its a 4.3 v8 yet sounds like a 1.1 its also silent.

Mum wants a v8 sound, so would you go full exhaust system or just the back?

Some sort of induction kit would give you the induction noise, if thats what you want.

Are you sure there's a V8 in it? scratchchin

Maybe a different system with freeflow silencers, but you'd have to speak to an exhaust specialist to make sure what you're getting isn't a disappointment - too loud for example.

Get a custom place to knock you up a rear silencer bypass for a nice rumble without too much boominess

I remember somewhere there was a 1000bhp gtr. The exhaust had a silencer that could be changed to be silent or loud.

Thats the sort of thing she wants, no just cutting the exhuast in half.
