V6 Ecotec loudest dB?

[JSTCOZ]

Hey Guys,

*puts on flame suit as a safety precaution*

I have a VT V6 and I'm getting an electric exhaust cut out installed in my car.
Reason being: I had a loud exhaust set up before, gone quieter now, miss the stupid loudness (at high revs it used to hit 122dB)

Where would be the best place to put my cut out if i just want stupid loudness, and does anyone know the dB level it'd make?

System as stands = hurricane extractors> 200cell hiflo cat > centre hotdog > rear suppressor
OLD LOUD SYSTEM = hurricane extractors> 200cell hiflo cat > centre hotdog > dump after rear wheel (end of cabin)

I'm thinking for the old sound itd be just after the hotdog?

Thoughts and ideas

If you want it stupidly loud, then just after the cat would be the way to go. But it will sound like a tractor.

Any idea what the dB reading would be for that? Possibly after the hotdog then? hotdog should give it some form of 'note' (use that term lightly) and it's only a metre if that further down the piping..

It will sound like a tractor and people will think your a wanker. Also the cops will have a field day on your car.

It will be used on rare times and on some night drives now and then. It's more or less for the option of the loudness to feed my immature mind.
However thanks for not offering advice on possible dB level and where for it to be placed(y)

The hotdog will take the edge off it and will sound less like a tractor, so yes, just after the hotdog would be better.

Depends where you put the DB meter should be nearly the same. So glad school holidays are over soon.

The exhaust system on my VS is stupidly loud, don't know why they let it drive out of the workshop like that, i'm thinking of making it a bit quieter but I don't drive it very much (or at all) lately so I haven't worried about it. Not sure what the DB is but it is loud when taking off and changing through the gears, but just cruising at 100-110km/h on the highway you can't even hear it.

19 mate, 3rd year out of school working full-time as a manager in a company... It's alright for you to try to be a smart ass though, i mean wanting a car to be louder for the pure sake of it is stupid and there for makes me a moron child right?

I'd say if anyone should be the one being baby talked it's you mate, a smart man wouldn't get his faps off over his own juvenile comments and assumptions (y) cheers

EDIT: Anyone else have opinions or system on their own? at the moment looks like the cut out will be after my centre hotdog

After your first muffler should in theory make the sound identical to as b4...

I'm not a fan if loud sixes, although I had a twin tb v6 that was loud"ish" and it sounded good... Mind you it took 4 exhaust set ups of different cats, mufflers and pipes plus the engine work to make it ok.
I got commented in its sound by several.
I guess my point is v6s don't sound good by nature bud, it takes slot of work! so give it a good amount of thought..

Btw If u want STUPIDLY LOUD just drop after cat..

My 2c is don't waste your cash bud.

[sweefu]

Why do you care what reading it will put out on a dB metre?

obviously was english bud

[Dr HaxZaw]

I reckon the best place for the cut out would be after the 2nd resonator... right below the rear bumper is where people usually put it

[Munz]

If you were happy with the noise level before you had the rear muffler - than that's obviously your answer of where to put it

Yeah mate I live the sound it has, I'm putting in a butterfly cutout though, it's more for the sake of it than anything, a 'giggle button' if you will. Late night on the roads just for a bit of fun and then back to normal when I want
