Have you considered what may happen in these two scenarios?

 

1. You like it louder, so you go and research and find another exhaust that gives you the exact same volume increase (assuming you can measure it accurately on the move). You fit the exhaust, then discover it drones or the tone is awful. Money wasted.

 

2. You do your mod and hate it, far too loud so you stick with OEM. You then miss out on having a nice sounding car because the test gave you a completely wrong perception of what a good exhaust can sound like.

 

 

The odds of you doing the test, then researching the volume, then buying an exhaust that just so happens to sound exactly like it is an absolutely minute chance of happening. You'd have more chance of winning the lottery.

 

 

Have you ever owned a sporty car before? Ever had a performance exhaust put on it? Genuine question.

I've considered both...

 

1. That research would include finding out whether it drones and at what rpm (based on feedback / ride-alongs)

 

2. I know I thought about this, but can't remember if I wrote it down. Yes, it doesn't quite work if I hate it as an aftermarket option may still be viable, but I just have to keep this in mind when making a decision.

 

It might not work, but I can only see it helping in making a decision. Knowing what's bad can make what's good more obvious.

 

The only sporty things I can relate it to (off the top of my head) from real life experience (being inside and specifically listening to the exhaust) is an F-type R, F-Pace S, 350Z HR, Civic Type-R FN2, A5, Focus ST Mk3. All of which were stock.

 

F-Type R was the loudest, but didn't sound too loud. I did prefer the active exhaust turned off, but not due to volume, I just preferred the tone.

have you just shot yourself in the foot ?

as the title - just curious

and when / where would they / should they be utilised

Happy birthday little fella

but surely there are different types of "loud" ie a loud resonation at low frequency is entirely different to the "loud" of a high frequency

but, bust a gut and go try it and let us know how you got on

the problem with wbac (and the like) is that yes, they will take it off you, but their initial offer rarely stands - you pay a fee (non-refundable) for someone to give a final quote and thats where it all falls down

Probably gangzoom is a member on other forums, but I for one would feel we would be the poorer for not discussing other Marques, upcoming technology etc ....... in the appropriate parts of this forum

If you don't agree with someone's point of view make a polite comment (or not comment at all) and move on.

I agree with you in that I'm not a fan of electric cars, however, they definitely have a place and I'm happy to discuss them

.... but you do seem to have contradicted yourself slightly ..... we are all here for our passion of cars whatever form they come in

I wonder how feasible it would be to have solar PV on the roof instead/as well as the panoramic glass

providing the banks valuers are ok with your agreed borrowing, you're on the home straight (pun intended)

a price would be good though ??

They look gorgeous ....... the pussy cats too

I bet I know which ones will make the most noise

you should also try its little brother

whilst "only" 3.0ltr supercharged, but damn I like these cars

I fancy a little something soon ...... beginning to get cabin fever

holy moly

Nice mate some subtle but nice mods

 

Let me know how the DAB module progresses (and the cost)

 

 

 

It must have been the dab aerial cable being so close to the dash cam power cable. Now that's the other side of the car it looks/sounds fine.

 

I've heard of this before, when I was researching mine - I believe there is a suppressor of some sort that may also be an option

serious skilz

woohooo ...... apparently I've got Launch Control (or dynamic launch as Jaguar call it) and I don't have to put it back into a garage every time I use it (fnar, fnar to GTR )

nice little review as well

all you need now are the under cill neons and you've completed your chav look to perfection

well, at least the delivery is free

its the felange .............. its always the felange

(I'm sure someone will get the reference )

We (my Mrs & I) don't really celebrate Valentines day as a couple because we don't need a specific day to show how we feel about each other.

 

I did however buy her a chocolate red rose and I bought myself a new PS4 game.

 

Glad to see you didn't get caught up in the peer pressure and commercialism of the day......until I read the last sentence!

I could of given her it on any day though plus it was only a pound from Asda.

ahhhh, gotta love a cheapskate

spent £1 on his missus, and £39 on himself :lol:

That red rose was very tasty and good to share - we hope you enjoyed your game

Andy, I thought better of you buying valentines cards

 

......my god, there's no hope for you now!!

following orders ........... just not very well (as usual)

No wonder VW beetles are so rare

thank goodness

we don't normally do much - been together nearly 25 years now - but this year, she decided that we would cards for each other

my response .... "really" !!!!!

anyway, couple of days ago bought a card with as little pap in it as possible

went to write it this morning and realised I'd bought a card that said "to my husband" ............ oh bugger !!

ah well, crossed out husband wrote wife ............... jobs a good un

they did fall over a lot
