Before the rrs i currently have, i looked at another it was a tdv6 and sounded the dogs How can i get mine to have that noise grunt? It wasn't deafining loud just a lovely roaring sound. The exhaust looked standard sure he said something about removing the silencers? Any one done this?

IS THE ANSWER!

V6s only roar when they are cold due to the fan....TDV8s roar like a lion in perpetual rutting mode

Change the record heard it all before Mr H and rrsboy a thousand times

Can i get a serious answer please

The only way to really make it roar, is get rid of the cats and straight pipe it ... make sure you post vids if / when you do it

Rather like taking the larynx out of a neutered feline..

have you considered the mod offered by James LPR?

all you do is


sell the TDV6 to him


and he'll give you a shiny MY10 TDV8 instead

2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable

2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!

Just decat it and replace with a straight pipe. That's the best the TDV6 will sound.

A decatted TDV8 on the other hand, is glorious!
Had to install an additional muffler per side because of the noise, but now it's an awesome deep rumble that builds to a (almost) scream. And by God it's fast!

But then it will become an unroadworthy vehicle and fail its next mot

Bear in mind you can only remove the CAT from vehicles up to chassis number 7a. At the moment it won't fail an mot, but!! New laws maybe coming in. If you buy a bolt on de cat pipe then as long as you don't mind swapping it back, that is if these new laws come in then it's never a problem.

Not if you've got a friendly mot station

Think a custom de cat pipe is around £90. then it's a case of unbolting the cat section and replacing the de cat one. Flange on the turbo end is a bit fiddly but apart from that an easy job.
