Guy Heaton Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 There's a car on the estate that sounds like a cross between a creaking door and a cow in distress. It's loud but awful. It sounds rubbish. It amazes me that someone actually spent money to make it that bad. There's another car, XKR I think. This is also louder than normal but instead of a wretched drone from an exhaust, you hear the shimmy of the V8. Which is a great sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Yeah, it's all down to the quality of the sound, which is often due to having something big and powerful to start with, rather than sticking a drainpipe exhaust on something small. One of my neighbours has a big V-twin Aprilia, for instance, which sounds superb. A lad further down the road has some noisy exhaust on his scooter, which sounds absolutely awful!😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild_one Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I've got a powerflow exhaust on my Fiesta 1.6 zetec S and although it doesn't spit flames or give you 'gunshots' you know it's there, especially on the overrun. To be honest, if you do a lot of motorway driving the 'droning' will do your head in. Don't forget also that any sort of exhaust mod will make you the target for every bell end in a golf gti, who feel it is there duty to get in front of you, usually in a 'do or die' maneuver!
