My rear tyres are stuffed & I usually just turn it off when I hop in but I forgot this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had exactly the same concern when I first had mine done. As it was one of my 'stealth' mods (having been assured by others on the forum that hot dogs made just a little difference to the note), I nearly cr@pped myself when I first started the car - it was LOUD!!! I guess it just goes to show how different tastes are - some find the hot dog option too 'soft' and prefer the straight through pipes, I'm very glad I opted for the hot dogs! But, if it's any consolation, it actually does get a little quieter over time as the carbon builds up. Mine is now at a comfortable level where it's certainly not obnoxious under light throttle applications but has a purposeful note to it when giving it a bit of stick.

Would they still get quieter over time???My wife hadn't heard the car yet and when she left for work this morning she said the sound scared her to start with.She said it way real loud for her.Guess I will just have to drive it everyday then Will try and get a video up on youtube tonight for people who are unsure on whether or not to do it.CheersJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they still get quieter over time???In that case, probably not then. Yes, it's one of those things that's very difficult to describe over the internet. Many people have said that replacing the centre muffler with twin hot dogs make little difference to how loud the car sounds. Having done it myself, I would seriously debate that. Sure, once the car is warm (cold starts with the higher idle and the car definitely sounds a lot louder - to my ear anyway!) and idling very low, it may be difficult to tell, but as soon as you touch the throttle, it's obvious the zorst ain't stock. I can only imagine how loud the staright through pipes must be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
