tdv8 exhaust upgrade,does anybody know,apart from improved performance,does it improve the v8 rumble,and can anyone recomend a system

I've had a JE system fitted today and apart from looking great, it sounds great too.

I would challange anyone to know that it was a diesel from either inside or out.

It is now quicker than an SC and pulls like a train (not just due to the exhaust)

I've had a Larini(JE) exhaust for a while now. Pics are in my gallery. Sounds and looks great.  TDV6 - gone

Does the Larini system make much difference to the sound? Any chance of a wee audio clip

thanks for the replys,where can i buy an exhaust system

You can buy from several places... Given you aren't in the UK, you could ask JE is they would ship their Larini exhausts out to you for local installation?

The only mod I want to make to my Tdv8 is to amplify that lovely rumble that I can hear on the inside to make sure that everybody outside can hear it too. I often wonder if anybody that I overtake can hear it, but I suspect not. I don't really want to spend vast fortunes on a nice tuned exhaust for a car that has a perfectly good exhaust system as it is................................ maybe it's my apprenticeship as a "plastic" scotsman coming out in me  2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Tim you can, what you need to do is get someone to drive your car past you, a friend of mine had a quick blast in mine the other day, as he approached you realy hear that deep rumble and as he went past me the grin got bigger. try it. Also I had to shift a few things yesterday which involved putting the seats flat in the back, bloody hell you should hear it then!! the noise inside is great. Speed Limits! not where I live!
