Sick as in throwing up?

That's awesome

If you're going to pay for all the fuel a 4WD burns, you might as well bloody hear it.

I've got a similar note after an upgrade and while it's not everyone cup of tea, a big sound brings a smile to most faces. Good thing with the P38 is that it's only loud when the revs are up, meaning you have some control and restraint when needed...

I'd love to see how the bolts and removal works, i need that on mine, any pics??

Sounds ok, it does have a similar sound to a carby fed Chev.

There is a facebook P38 Group, in the Video section there are a few vids of a P38 playing in some sand that sounds a lot like yours.

Yep, sounds sweet! Nice note.

Should be more of us P38's intimidating the "lesser" V8's... here's mine with a dual low-resitance system at idle

that sounded like a V8 Diesel on a T....... FJ Comp Truck I heard a while back with a straight thru 3" pipe no Mufflers.


see even the "swear Filter" picked up the Toymota

I went for a 2 1/2" system from the Y pipe back with a single straight through muffler. It's got a little lump at idle and while putting around town it's not obnoxious in the slightest. The BigHorn tyres make more noise. In low range up a hill at full tilt though, it makes quite the noise... I'll try and get some video/audio of stationary and under load.

Also, I thought my system would too loud for the boys in blue, but after a trip to the pits, the inspector said it was well within the limits. In WA though I think it's something crazy like 95dB @ 30m

Cheers,
Keels.

Mines here...

Unashemdly loud
