What can I say the thing is damn loud, we ended up not putting any hotdogs in because it sounded good enough on the hoist. But now just above 2000rpm its almost deffening to your ears inside the cab! Will hotdogs fix this? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81864-rear-muffler-removal-for-straight-pipe/page/6/#findComment-1331460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falky100 Donating Members 305 Member For: 13y 5m 18d Gender: Male Posted 29/11/12 11:08 AM Share Posted 29/11/12 11:08 AM Yeah I know what your saying. It didnt sound that bad outside the car. But in the cabin you get a bad drone between 2000-2500 rpm that you can feel in the footwell and thru the seats. that's my only complaint. Other than that, it sounds sweet.Slowly gettin used to it now Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81864-rear-muffler-removal-for-straight-pipe/page/6/#findComment-1331781 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 6m 9d Posted 05/12/12 09:15 AM Author Share Posted 05/12/12 09:15 AM I know what you mean by the drone at 2500 but mines not that loud that I can't concentrate and its only heard when I take off half throttle, any faster or any slower and all good so I rarely even notice it. And it doesn't even come close to as being loud as my old man's GT with herrod extractors back so not cop trouble as a result. I'm happy with mine and definitely sounds better than a v6 commy, it has a deeper note and doesn't have a constant drone at every point in the revs like the commy does Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81864-rear-muffler-removal-for-straight-pipe/page/6/#findComment-1333850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt sound too bad now, cant complain at the moment, still sounds great at idle too Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81864-rear-muffler-removal-for-straight-pipe/page/6/#findComment-1333872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
