Sound

[addypret]

Hi guys,

I've got a 99 VT 3.8L Commodore and have only put a twin cutback exhaust on it.

I was wondering what else can be done to the car, except for putting on extractors to make it sound louder?

Cheers guys,

rip the old intake box out and out in a growler kit, they are about $500

U could take the rear section of the exhaust off...or remove the mufflers and put straight pipe in. Itll definately make it louder but itll probably sound like someone farting into a tin can after a bad feed of mexican. Best bet is to get extractors and a full system. I had a full twin 2.25" system made for my old hilux that i put a 3.8 commy donk in...sounded awesome. Even without extractors

Awesome if you're tone deaf?
Even straight out the headers or from the Y-pipe they're just noise, a 500 bbc with a full exhaust makes more noise and it has a beat..... then again a 253 sounds better than 3.8, built right has more go aswell.....

Cos u just know everything dont u? Get real mate... I can guarantee that u never heard the car, so dont sit there being a keyboard warrior and try to make out that u know for a fact that it sounded like ****.

I was very hesitant about having a system put on it due to almost every v6 commodore with an exhaust sounding raspy/tinny. But this really was crisp and sounded great

Yes, that will really make the exhaust sound louder...

Worst bang for buck ever too.

Louder ? ..as close as you can get to a short straight pipe. Legal ? 2.25 pipes and extractors.

Don't expect miracles tho. A stock ? engine can only do so much.

Dry ya eyes princess, considering the sound emitted relies on displacement and cam timing then there's bugger all you can do with a v6, there's not much there to start with if it's a stock engine.

U must have a very masculine sounding voice then...given that ur mouth has a large displacement and ur timing is pretty retarded.

U decided to read through a post that hasnt been updated in 2 days just to have another dig?....u must not be running on all cylinders if it took u that long rofl.

Wow, sorry to say but all my cylinders are firing fine. Another dig? I haven't called you any names, at least i'm not delusional and think either a rolux or a v6 is at all awesome.
I must apologise for the late reply, i just didn't bother looking at this thread again.
