Actually, PM Joshf2 (I think) with the little fiesta, hes got a video of my car on a dyno..
Lol I really cant explain how it sounds.. its just an awesome tough sounding 6.. but everyone thinks its an 8! and I can make it sound like a boat!!
Its got that certain deepness and note that vibrates the walls, ground, shop windows and sets car alarms off, makes babies cry, dogs bark and people walk to the edge of the footpath to get a glimps of what it is when you cruise by.. lol love
it!
And its funny to watch most people back right down when they hear it, lights are red, they are all for it and trying to Gee me up.. I give a BIG rev, and the look and shock on their face is to die for, lights go green, they dont move till I roll away from the line.

Ask Casper when i went to pick him up one arvo..
Stiddy: "hey dude im...."
Casper: "Yessss I heard ya, be out in a min"
Stiddy: "but i didnt even give it"
stiddy gives it a little
Casper: "F*$k thats loud, noooo I couldnt live with that"
Stiddy laughs... then gives it full stick..
Casper: "that sounds totally different to mine, but sounds very nice"
(well something to that effect)

AND

HLC says: "come on start her up"
stiddy starts car and revs
HLC says: "get the F$%k out of here, thats not a 6"

LOL theres heaps more but meh..

i think i said something with a few more explitives :P

anyway, Stidd's car has gotten LOUDER! went over to show him my new zorst, and he started his car and yeah, its ridiculous!!!


i'll video it on saturday Stidds!

I cant comment now anyhow.. I have a 2.5/3" setup myself now (bit of both, we dynotuned in a hand built setup using both 2.5 and 3" pipe to get the best rwkw)

Mine is almost as loud as Stiddy's now.. but not as nice a sound as it is for power and sound was ignored.

Where abouts are the 3" bits and where abouts are the 2.5" bits to make it actually give more power? Just curious.

Well i might take a stab and get the 3", otherwise i will just be regretting it if i dont. If i get done buy cops i will take it off and get the 2.5" then. but for now i am convinsed 3" is the go. Btw your paccies casper, are they specific to vct? Just dont know what type i should get (any suggestions for standard old au1 4L?)

Go the best of both worlds.. 2.5inch from the cat to the rear muffler and then 3inch from the rear muffler to the back of the car :P
would be something different..

Well every time someone hears it, they really wont know what it is. Good talking point, not sure if it would be efficient or not.
