12/08/13 09:01 AM12/08/13 09:01 AM #1 Hey guys just got an xforce 3.5'' stainless turbo back system put on my ba turbo its got the muffler and then the rear muffler/resonator that looks like a cannon lol. Gained over 35kws and loving it but it just doesnt seem loud enough? by that I mean it sounds ok now but I know it could sound alot nicer.Has anyone had the same problem and what have you done to exhaust? cheers
12/08/13 09:38 AM12/08/13 09:38 AM #2 Give it time to carbon up as it will change. Did you get a tune after fitting this exhaust?
12/08/13 10:04 AM12/08/13 10:04 AM #3 Author Yeah its all sorted tuning wise. Yeha I know the carbon has to build up. I just didnt know f I should get the last muffler taken out or if it would affect the power/flow
12/08/13 10:08 AM12/08/13 10:08 AM #4 it will be stupid loud if you remove a muffleryou gained 30 odd kw putting the system on. seems to be doing its job fine.
12/08/13 10:38 AM12/08/13 10:38 AM #6 Be very careful mate.. theres a fine line between a nice tough note and a terrible drone with these cars. I took the centre muffler out then got an upgraded cat/dump.. ended up having to buy an aftermarket catback to fix up the noise between 2-4000 rpm and 80-100ks..
12/08/13 10:43 AM12/08/13 10:43 AM #7 Author Yeah question guy that was what im was afraid of. Ive heard some of those stories. Might just let it build up and run in and see how I go. Sounds great when you get up it. just would like a low rpm rumble. But im very happy none the less. thanks for your help guys
12/08/13 11:46 AM12/08/13 11:46 AM #8 Well not entirely mate. well you did other mods then, so state that in your first post.letting a exhaust carbon up will make it more quiet btw.
12/08/13 02:20 PM12/08/13 02:20 PM #9 Not sure mate, it definatly sounds different, the note can become very crisp after burning the mufflers in. I personally chose a V8 style quad tip, with three mufflers in my set up. I hate the attitude cops have about modded cars so it is all sleeper from me. A loud exhaust is going to draw the wrong and very un wanted attention. IMO it will never sound like a nice V8 or have a nice rumble at idle. The barra engines are missing two cylinders and a bunch of valve overlap. Feel free to post sound clips if you have found a way to get a barra turbo six to rumble at idle as I will be keen to hear it.
13/08/13 09:35 AM13/08/13 09:35 AM #10 Author Yeah Ive just come from a V8 ute which sounded unreal and its just hard to reason with no rumble lol. But I notice it getting better everyday, sounding better."freaky" Mate I dont understand what your saying. This thread is about exhaust note , not talking about all my other mods and its carboning up and getting louder like most of my other cars. But cheers for your help anyways.
