Just the second box (big square one) not both of them. Never heard a diesel with it done but can not imagine its sounds as good as the S/C. I will try and film the sound at some point.
I did not remove both as i think the first oval box is just to balance the gasses so best to leave it in.

I took both off.

Once you get upto speed it’s ok,it’s only on acceleration that’s it’s loud.

Hi Andy,

Is there any cross over in your exhaust ie an X or H or are both pipes completely separate from manifold to tailpipe?
Is the idle funny sounding?

Thanks 2007 Stornaway Grey RRS HSE 4.4 V8

Both straight pipes from manifold to back boxes,,it ticks over ok.

Thank you for the reply, I’ll post back after Wednesday with my results from the muffler shop 2007 Stornaway Grey RRS HSE 4.4 V8

Went into muffler shop and after some discussion we just went with the removal of the resonator and I’m very happy with the results. It’s not quite as loud as Andy’s has a nice deep rumble, no real drone (haven’t been on a long trip yet) and I do get some pops and bangs on deceleration in sport which I really like!

Muffler guy really liked it too, said it didn’t sound cheap!

Very inexpensive modification too!

Have a happy new year everyone 2007 Stornaway Grey RRS HSE 4.4 V8

Mine is in next week. so dave does it sound like andys raspy. or more the v8 rumble any reason you only took the one box out

Hi Tone,
The guy at the muffler shop suggested I’d be too loud and to try just taking out the resonator and see if I liked it. I do, it’s a nice deep rumble sounds mean but gets a couple rasps and pops, totally different to stock!
I tried to put a video on here but haven’t figured that out yet. PM me your email and I’ll send it to you.

My Rover is non supercharged btw 2007 Stornaway Grey RRS HSE 4.4 V8

Lose the X or H pipe and lose BHP.  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Could you email me the clip too please? I know mine is s/c but it should sound similar  Steve.
