    you could always take the exhaust off at the manifolds, it will be REALLY loud and cost u notin.

    Get the rear muffler removed and replaced with regular piping for about a half hour's labour

    3 mufflers, if you just run straight pipe instead of the rear mufler it will be loud, that's how mine is at the moment

    YouTube - VP Commodore X-pipe

    Example ^, but your factory mufflers shouldn't be that loud hopefully

    I would have thought a 5l VT already sounded like a V8 and not a VL. Learn something new everyday.

    stick an old milo tin on the end of the pipe with some ducktape.

    looks sweet on 4 bangers. might work for a V8 that sounds like a VL

    ahaha iv seen cars driving around like that, also with a 2 litre coke bottle.

    Cheapest way. wack a drill through the muffler, it wont sound good, but it will be louder, and loosen the bolts on the manifold

    How about 2 great big PA speakers in the boot and a mic in the exhaust then crank it up. It will be the loudest thing on wheels!

    best bet for cheap noise is put your foot flat to the floor mine tends to be on the loud side when i do that

    so they reckon in the next street

    the pa speaker set up sounds good though after taping up the milo tin to the end of pipe
