Has anyone seen or heard a straight pipe exhaust on a V8? Is it any good? Thinking of having one custom made, and on a petrol of course, any feedback would be appreciated

Yes not on a RRS though. This was an older 4.0 V8, to be honest sounded fantastic, but gave me headache after half an hour! not sure how PLOD would view it or an MOT examiner...

also asking for trouble if your driving home from the pub!

maybe might try and do straight pipe with very small silencers on then?

What does Misery have on his RRS?

OK, so what do you guys think is my best option for a custom built exhaust that adds more noise and more free-flow without being too loud?

When Misery sees this he can explain what his is all about...

Copy mine they are free flow from the cats back with tips that I like, you can have any tip you fancy (even nasty looking Overfinch or Kahn).

If you kick it she is loud and abusive but on long motorway runs etc she is all nice and quiet. So I think it has worked out on both accounts changing the exhausts.

Thanks for the kind comments ST.

Thanks Misery,i have already picked the tips just wasnt sure to add new silencers / mufflers or not and was also concerned about longer journeys with the noise being too loud,

No worries!!

We did two converstions. My friend had his done first but it sounded to much like a Daytona 500 race car coming down the road. so we ajusted the noise level on mine by adding bigger boxes and she was spot on. .

That was my comcern to the noise levels, you want to be able to hold a conversation, well that's unless JayMann is in the car then the noise would be worth while.
