Hazey Member 234 Member For: 21y 9m 24d Posted 15/09/10 10:31 AM Share Posted 15/09/10 10:31 AM When I test drove a new FG XR6T I could hear the exhaust from inside the car. With my G6ET I cannot hear it.Does anyone know why? Is it due to the muffler? Or some kind of sound deadning. Anyone know where the sound deadning would be.Was also surprised to see a single 3" exhaust instead of twin 2.5" like my old BA XR6T had Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70534-inside-exhaust-note/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exhaust note certainly changes after a while. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70534-inside-exhaust-note/#findComment-1041236 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazey Member 234 Member For: 21y 9m 24d Posted 19/09/10 08:13 AM Author Share Posted 19/09/10 08:13 AM The XR6T had 0030km. I just thought I could hear the note a little more coming through the boot/rear seats.Na dont want to remove the centre muffler as I dont like that cheap sound. I'll see how I go as more k's go onthanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70534-inside-exhaust-note/#findComment-1041375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
satz Member 65 Member For: 19y 2m 17d Posted 31/10/10 11:52 PM Share Posted 31/10/10 11:52 PM Is there more sound deadening in the G6E doors compared to XR6T?I noticed that the G6E doors close with a more solid thunk! Wonder whether it's some internal deadening, or a difference in door seals?Anyone know?cheersS Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70534-inside-exhaust-note/#findComment-1051876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
