Hey guys.
This ones short and sweet.
The thread "Removing a muffler (Straight through) Started by 87RB30VL" got me thinking.
What have you guys done to your VLs to make them sound delicious? Possibly link a youtube video to let us all hear it if you have one?
Cheers
Put a exhaust on them..?
Sexy and delicious are not words to describe a sound of a car. My girlfriend is sexy not my car. Beer is delicious not my car, I do not have intercourse with my car, I do not taste my car...
There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.
Talk to an exhuast shop... or get a bigass drill and go nuts making holes until you get the sound you want.![]()

It all depends on the driver's definition of sexy. To me, sexy is my mate's XB Coupe with a 351 & an exhaust that stops where your doors are, whereas to other people sexy could be a lowered Skyline with a milo tin exhaust.
My headers made my car sound a bit more tough, and I like tough sounding VL's haha so that's sexy in my opinion. Mine also sounds delicious, though a turbo would probably be the cherry on my cake of ... uhh ... I can't finish that off haha

haha well said. yeah im looking for a low down, grunty sound.
im thinking about taking it to dandenong exhausts but i thought id just get an idea of how you guys have gone about doing yours.
I guess like what Jats & Wraith said on my other post, straight through would be the way to go but only if it still stays within the legal noise bracket.
Maybe headers, high flow cat & a 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" catback would sound alright. I'm not sure how big you'd want to go on an NA, maybe 2 1/4 most, but I guess that would sound pretty decent

dont go over 2.5" then u will start losing power. go with a 2 1/4" straight through then have a turbo tip the sound bounces of the road and enhances the noise a tad(did when i put one on :P) or drop a 304 in it and then u got a nice note
put a cam in with a 3inch exhaust system >> YouTube - ‪VL Turbo with BIG cam idling‬‏
That actually sounds pretty sick!
Not as sick as this, though: (Skip to 0:43 if you just want to hear the car from the outside otherwise watch the guy film his gauges and stuff)

i actually got an exhaust a few days ago just from the cat was a redback couldnt ask for the noise to be any better since my car is completely stock. i can put a vid up on youtube i guess....was only 260$$$ so im not complaining :P
my brother inlaws n/a vl had a 3in with no mufflers it actually sounded great and wasn't overly loud
