I got extractors, high flow cat and a 2.5" exhaust but the note is still not loud enough I reckon.
It sounds alot more deeper than stock but its still a little quiet. Anybody have any sensible ideas what I could do to increase the sound output? Some guy reckoned I could get a much bigger tip but I could also start loosing power if the exhaust pipes are too large. I'm a little lost about this. I also wanna try and give it more of a V8-like burble. It sound similar to one at idle and low rpm but then becomes a flat drone at higher revs. |

You cant make a 6 sound like a V8....it is simply impossible.
To get louder now oyu would best be looking at a less restrictive muffler. In the end though it's never going to sound like a V8.

How many mufflers did you get? Any resonators/hotdog etc?

I know I cant make a 6 sounds exactly like an 8 but mine already sounds alot similar to one at idle and low rpm. Its got that nice burble, but as soon as I start accelerating it speeds up and becomes a flat bhrrrrrr like you get from those fart can lancers. :(

different air filters give different sound also... mine sounds way louder and gruntier with the airbox lid cut off (experiment by removing the lid and taping the filter to the airbox and see if it sounds any different)

Well the povo way to get a louder and nicer exhaust sound is to just remove the rear exhaust pipe (from the muffler back).
Mine was damaged so i just left it off till i got the 3" piping done. Sounds alot better throughtout the rev range. |

Why would you want an E-series six to be that loud anyway? They sound like absolute crap if they're much louder than stock. I used to have mine really loud but I changed it back to stock because I just got so sick of it.

And mines a stock motor, just a 2.5 with a straight through and it burbles better than most holden V8's ive heard. There nothing like changing into second and rolly past a commy..the looks I get are priceless. I really need to get some more go to back up the sound though..lol
