Hi all
I'm after a little advice - What would be the best exhaust (stainless steel sports type) for a standard factory 3.5 V8 - I want to enhance the great V8 rumble but without being embarrassed driving through town and being able to use it as an every day fun vehicle? I.e. not cracking, popping and setting all the alarms off on the park cars I pass! Also do you know of any video sound clips that I could log onto to get an idea of what to expect?
Thanks in advance.
Paul

Tubular headers, standard centre box and a Disco TD5 backbox did the trick on my V8 hybrid - subtle grumble, F1 style snort at high revs...

I have a def. 90 3.5V8 and i have the standard exhorst up to the centre box then at the centre box i have actualy got a motorcycle exhorst end can.

From the centre box backwards is flexi-pipe with no back box!

This sounds fooking gorgeous! And passed the MOT!

However on motorway jernies it can get a little loud and yes i do use it everyday but i didnt buy it to blend into the mundane!
