who has the loudest?

[s1oww]

Mines probably being changed a little in the next week or so. I'm not a fan of my letterbox tailpipe, it was only ever ment to be temporary while i got one made. I dont have the spare cash at the moment to get it built, so may just go for the boring standard twins for a bit. I'd be interested to see a good picture of your twins chris, thats not ment in a way

[christurbo]

Yep - will do Just need to polish them up a bit after last nights coking session!

Would that be because everyone assumes you have a Regal exhaust?

[s1oww]

That may have something to do with it TT

[christurbo]

Ive just taken it out on another blatt - its coking up well, and really making a difference to the exhaust note. I have always bought second hand exhausts for my other cars so have already been 'coked'. I didnt think that 'coking in' would make any difference - but it actually does! I really want to give the VX a wash, polish, and wax - and give the zorst some Autosol but its too bloody hot with no shade

[fluffy]

The coking effect is quite annoying. When I had the milltek put on my VX plans said it probably wouldn't sound right until it had done a few hundred miles. Fortunately the vx london to brighton was the next day and I managed to do lots of miles in one day which sorted that problem out!

Just gave the VX some attention and she is spotless so here are some decent pics and a vid.


Vid:- [sorry about the resolution forgot to change it ]

It took me 3 attempts because the exhaust kept blowing my camera over!

looks great .took mine about 1000 miles to sound like it does now, it pops and bangs but it has got louder those tail pipes look clean now give it a couple of weeks and they will be rusty like your discs

[christurbo]

Ha! Thats what Autosol is for! BTW - my disks still look brand new! Still nice and golden zinc. So not like most of you said they would be like! Scott your system sounds lovely! Im knackered - just finishing the Megs 3 step!

[ShinyAndy]

Maybe if you used it instead of polishing it all the time the disks would be de-zinc'd by now

[christurbo]

Thats the problem - I cant stop using it!!! Its costing me a fortune to run the CTR and VX as im so addicted to pointless blatts!!!!

[SPLAM]

Nice one Chris, tips look very well finished, nice fit too. .

who has the loudest?

I have the loudest Milltek.

[christurbo]

Thanks..

I have the loudest Milltek

I bet the SC helps!


But I have the biggest ......

[colgy]

I've had a custom built (designed by me) exhaust on my VXT for years and on rolling roads its producing just as good gains as a miltek and cost me a LOT less .

If you get someone that knows his stuff then its a good way to go.

Whereabouts did you get your custom exhaust made, does it sound as quiet as a Miltek etc, I'm dying to know
I'm thinking about going down this route too if its significantly cheaper, getting a little jealous since I hard snoopstah's na with a vse. The noise from it would put a spitfire to shame!

[jules_s]

My rents heard me from a sufficient distance to greet me on their front drive today.... Milltek and viper much louder would p*ss me off tbh Sam....im sure Jinder would tell you to 'gtf' about your claims of being the loudest...and if Ad172 still had some eardrums and no tinitus im sure he would agree

[i need nos]

sounds like they have done a good job chris, i will go for a slightly louder version when i get time to drive up, i hope it stays in one piece!! lol

[christurbo]

It feels very sturdy and well put together!

Its getting louder the more I drive it due to the coking - it pops and bangs all the time though

But yes you can get it as loud as you want - not my cup of tea though.



The pipes do look alot like the Miltek dont they!

Defo louder than the MIltek! Do a search for the pistonheads tunnel run vids - Slow's VX is on there and is insanely loud on the beans!
