Thread: Any damage to be done ?

A V8 Will love it, as you said it will be loud. No problems to be had as far as the motor goes.

No engine, mechanical or electronics/engine management issues .......it's just gonna be F*****G LOUD!

I don't think you'll be able to drive it on any public roads without attracting the boys in blue though!

Yah thought it might be a bit loud , any recomendations on a reasonable priced centre muffler for it ? still like to have that true v8 sound

just stick a hotdog on there--



but if you go with a straight pipe,,

have someone hang out the back and take a vid WITH SOUND!



not much between the valves and the outside world on BUB91,,
its not that loud

For a cheap n easy muffler try one that suits a Holden V8 late 60's to late 70's [Kingswood type,NOT Commodore type I think] for 2" or 2 1/4" or 2 1/2". They're cheap, common, easy fit etc

It's nearly always cheaper to have a system made up by a good Muffler shop/business than to buy one to suit your vehicle .........a good muffler man can make up a system using single 2 1/2" pipe, single large capacity centre muffler[as above] ...... you don't really need a rear resonator -and you won't scrape it on extreme angles!....."Hot dogs" aren't much use as a muffler [in the centre] and you don't absolutely need a resonator at the back.

How loud are Harleys???!!! They seem to be legal? A disco without a muffler wont be half as loud surely.

They seem to be legal , does,nt mean they are !!
Was sort of hoping that someone or a few people might have had centre muffler off and just running straight pipe so i could get there feed back on how it sounds

I have a straight through muffler (no baffles) and no rear resonator on my Rangie and I reckon it sounds fantastic. Still quieter than my Holden 5 litre with twin 2.5 inch pipes with straight through mufflers and hotdogs.
