Question about car and exhaust noise

[Lewis07-Hitman]

After a year or so off the circuit I'm looking to buy a 6.2 VXR8 for sale at Tyrell Automotive in Moreton Bucks. I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows this car. Also, it has a Wortec exhaust system "set to loud" and I'd like to know if this would be too loud on an 800 mile trip down to the south of France?

If you want you can change the exhaust to quiet, speak to monkfish or any wortec dealers, i think you just need a set of plates. The vxr8's are loud when the exhausts are fitted, but has it got wortec headers, if so then it will be very very loud.

Hi Mate, i have a wortec cat back on mine and cruising aroung 80 you can hear it but its not bad but if its got headers on it then the jump in noise is alot but believe me you never get bored of that V8 rumble!!

Cheers guys. I think it's just the exhaust. I'm off to drive it on Saturday so I'll let you know after that. Just don't want the kids' ears to bleed on the way down to France next week.

I belive its meant to be under 96DB with out the centre boxes on a cat back. It will pass an mot with them like it...

6.2 VXR8 with wortec cat back on loud makes the appropriate sounds at reasonable volume in the first five gears yet once in sixth gear the volume reduces so good for motorway cruise.

All good to hear. Excuse the pun!

Like everyones said, you should be fine with just cat back but would definitely need a switch if going for headers. Ours has the switch because we have the full system.
