VCM OTR

[Jimmy223]

Hey guys I got a vf sv6 I’m a typical red P plater wanting to make my car louder will installing a VCM otr in my VF make my car more louder and more powerful ?

Any louder and you'll be 'cop bait'...

So it does increase sound in a car ? Can some1 explain what it does ?

A VCM OTR inhales.

I don't feel they make any real increase in the sound.

might get a bit of induction noise from the otr but you really need to get it tuned if you’re going to fit one to your car, you will definitely pick up some power with the combination of the otr and tune

+1 that making the car’s (induction or exhaust) noise will just attract the wrong sort of attention from police.

The mandated P-plate you must display already paints a target on your back so why would you want to paint another target on your back, yourself. This is especially the case knowing that any mods that could marginally be linked to power improvements can see you get a ticket or defect notice since P platers can’t have power mods on any cars they drive (registered to them)..

Get a usb stick with the sounds of Bathurst and play that loudly through your sound system if you want to sound like a tosser and attract unwanted attention… At least it won’t defect your car…

Ok thanks for the advice

As a parting comment, today’s cars that you have access to are more powerful than cars I had access to as a p-plater. So be happy with what you have and spend your money on keeping your car clean and in good mechanical condition.

Some interesting titbits:

2006 commodore SV6 manual = 195kw pulling 1752kg => 113 kw/tonne
(top speed 245kph, 6.4sec to 100kph, mid 15 sec for 1/4 mile)

1980 HDT commodore 5.0 V8 manual = 160kw pulling 1400kg => 114kw/tonne
(top speed 210kph, 8.4sec to 100kph, 15.1 sec 1/4 mile)

Note the HDT commodore was way out of my price league back in the day… but would possible be P-plate legal for you should you be able to afford it (and if it’s not banned for reasons separate to 130kw/tonne power to weight limit)…

Oh, and later models of the SV6 had 210kw from their V6 (or around 121kg/tonne which is still below the power limit)…

Spending your money on better brake pads and tyres would probably yield much better outcomes than noisy intakes and exhausts..l

If you remove bellmouth and put a cop chip in it it will be heaps faster

But don’t you need a left handed screwdriver to uninstall it
