No, I was nervous like you because i didn't want it really loud. Its reasonably quiet at idle, but you can tell its a V8 now as opposed to the silence before. Accelerating gives more noise, the harder you accelerate, the louder it is. Driving at a steady speed at 30 is completely silent, i think its quiet at motorway speeds, i'll get back to you on that next time I drive it.

Any chance of a video clip on idle/rev and take off on full throttle |

The new exhaust is on, I was worried it would be too loud as it only has 1 can instead of the stock 4. There are times when the revs are just at the right range where there is certainly a bit of drone but it's not very often. The most notable is at around 60mph, not an issue really though I either do 55 or 65 and it's fine, cruising on the motorway at 70mph and it sounds the same as a stock exhaust.

Hopefully, here is a couple of Pics of my exhaust tips. If it doesn't work have a look in my Gallery. 2006 4.2 S/C with Tow Pack, Side Steps, DRL's, 19" & 20" wheels, additional 110 ltr Fuel Tank Roof Rack and performance mods.

So just to confirm if all parts of the exhaust were stock eg, snail box, then box after snail box and the 2 smaller boxes just before the tips, the best combination for the V8 rumble and less or no drone would be just to remove and replace the snail box with 2 stright pipes |

That’s what I did on my 4.2 SC (removed the resonator box after first collector box and connected 2 straight pipes to rear exhausts) and the V8 sound is glorious!

How does these mods affect the MOT now that the emissions rule has changed? |
