Just bought my SSV Redline yesterday and I was quoted $1,500 for tune and Walkinshaw OTR which still includes the MSE (mechanical sound enhancer). Didn't buy it yet but will
How is it possible to keep the intake sound enhancer? The OTR has no provision for this.

Keep in mind there are two versions of the R8 headers (non supercharged of course) The R8 has 2.25inch outlet on the headers for the 317kw model and the R8SV has the 2.5 inch outlet which is the 340kw model. The R8SV headers are rare indeed.

Several workshops are modifying the backs of the OTRs to accommodate the Sound Enhancer, haven't seen a VCM intake modified, but have seen plenty of the Harrop OTRs get the Sound Enhancer plumbed into the back

Interesting. If anyone gets this done I would like to know more :)

I just installed a VCM OTR today and took out the MSE and plugged the hole in the firewall with the genuine part that HSV use for the non LSA cars.
Still sounds great when you get up it.

Hi dgp - do you have a part number for the firewall plate?

Cheers mate
