People who make their cars sound gid loud

[HANDSOME_DAN]

It doesnt matter what exhaust you put on a 4 cylinder car , they will still sound shite. I can understand if you run a V6 or V8 though.

not sure i agree with that. and why only v’s?

Aye but any 4-cyl engine sounds shit, especially with a farting exhaust.

honda type r’s? alfa twin sparks?

dont you drive a toyota hybrid

Was in VW getting a quote for a 7.5 R last weekend. £38k they wanted, they can sling a f***ing hook. I'd rather have just about anything else in that price bracket.

Nee one pays 38k for a golf R man.

Just go on drive the deal and get one for 30k.

Should have said straight 6s as well , just think in line 4s sound really boring unless they are proper race engines.

 

[the boot]

Harley/chopper type bikes sound utter shite like I agree.

The worst culprits are charvas on quads though. f***ing ridiculous. Always praying they hit a lampost when I hear one.

The ultimate worst is a trike (homemade) with the back end of a shit car. And it must be a license to wear a bandana. Pathetic.

I did about 2/3 years ago - and it sounded shit! Got an M140i now.

Vtec screamers are about as good as four pots get.

I think the fact that they develop their power so far up the rev range means that in normal driving you never get to hear them properly off a race track. I like a car with plenty torque at low revs personally.

Aye they don’t make the best daily drivers. Much more exciting when younget the chance to wring it out.

 

[Boinger]

The scratty little oiks need boiling in shit.

Mind I am a miserable owd kernt to be fair.

 

[the dark one]

I often feel the same about motorbikers but they all threw a hissy fit last time I mentioned it on here.

Wankers to a man mate.

 

[hairynaker]

Why dont they save money and just drill a hole in it, sounds the same.

 

[Steve H]

You know the types...do something with the exhaust to make the car sound 2 times louder. Usually some charva in a 10 year old corsa with No Fear stickers on them.

What’s the f***ing point?

It is because they are idiots

The science behind improved performance due to improvements in back pressure, flow and resistance within a chamber isn't the same if you simple drill a hole in the sidewall of a cheap exhaust. But this should be taken into account for decent cars, not shitty Citroens, Nova's etc (@Frijj ) and the like.

Twin bore big bore. f***ing pathetic.id lash the lot of them with a wet trout.

I had a new free flowing system put on my car, had a remap and it's now got over 25% more power. It was initially louder than a Boeing 747 taking off and it was ridiculous so I got a bigger resonator in the midpipe a slightly more restrictive Cat (1st cat was completely deleted in the manifold as it caused so much back pressure), now it's just a little louder than standard, sounds better and goes much better as well.
The louder you get the more annoying it can be on motorways as the drone is f***ing horrible on most cars cruising with loud boxes.
Just making it louder for the sake of it seems barmy in my eyes

There is no tangible benefit to performance, so is utterly pointless.

Aye I think coast2coast cars have the best deals on them, but any other 40k ticketed car you can do the same. It's just the price bracket they've put it in is impossible to justify.

True, but I want to know his secret

I’d like a £40k 5 series please

Key point is looking to be fair, and apart from cars I don't have any expensive hobbies. Don't go out on the lash every weekend etc. and i'm reasonable with my finances everywhere else.

Also a base 5 series on coast2coast at the minute is £31,500. Still a shit load mind, and if you're financing it's 2.9% APR. I'd recommend financing at that rate, you can save in current accounts higher interest than that.
