cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 19y 6m 28d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 26/01/07 08:03 AM Share Posted 26/01/07 08:03 AM Just thought I'd post an update to my previous post on how loud the system is. I was told by a couple of people that the hot dogs would get quieter after time, and to be honest I was a little skeptical about that. However, quieten down it certainly has. It is now noticeably quieter than when I first got this mod done and is down to a level that I am perfectly comfortable with. Still a little noisier on cold start, but nothing like it used to be, a little noticeable under light throttle applications, but still retains a nice bark during more spirited driving. I can now understand why those that have done the hot dog (vs straight through) mod may think it's too quiet, but for me it's just about perfect. Nice and rorty when needed and not too attention grabbing for general city driving. ←Gees Buggers - about time you did this! You have been talking about it for ages!

Not sure if it increased power. Sounds a lot better, and people notice the difference. Edited 24/02/07 12:08 AM by JimmyXR6T04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazey Member 234 Member For: 21y 2m 16d Posted 24/02/07 12:09 AM Share Posted 24/02/07 12:09 AM I can honestly tell you, from someone who is very fussy about drone that my system does not drone at all. Replaced with hotdogs. May have got more power but not really noticable, It more for the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
