I want my V6 to be loud!!
« on: 12 September 2008, 11:47:38 »
Hello Guys and Gals.

As I am competing in a charity rally next spring i am looking at one or two bolt ons to amplify the sound of the 2.5l V6

What pitfalls may I encounter in terms of sensors and cats in the exhaust? I am not looking to spend loads on a brand new stainless system i am just looking to up the fun factor a bit for as cheap as poss.

Can anyone advise of the options that i have ie de catting etc?

Thankyou in anticipation

Andy :)

Hello Guy snad Gals.

you can use the cone air filter, it will gain the sound of v6 and make it sound awesome!

perhaps cone will give you a bit more perfomance too :)

Do you think the MAF will mind? I know some cars dont like the oiled type cones. I dont want to tempt fate as reliabillity is v important on the trip lol

It should be fine! I have one on mine, and it seems ok.

If the MAF does die, you could unplug it - at least it will get you home then  :y

Good idea there mate  ::)

Sorry guys - the carity is CHASE which provides help and services to children that are terminally i'll as well as help and support to their fammilies and carers. A VERY worthy cause I think you will all agree.

Here is the link to the home page of the rally site if you want a look :y
