I just want it lumpy, grumpy angry as fuck so when you hear it you will think the world is ending lol

PS will removing the centre muffler make it sound more old school? Or do I have to remove all mufflers? (Centre and 2 rears)

If you opt for an X (and speak to expert installers about this), you should get the best of both worlds.

A nice rumble at idle (that doesn't attract every dickhead wanting to race you and cop wanting to pull you over), and when you put the foot down it should open right up, and if backing off quickly you might even get a pop/bang/crackle, which sounds awesome

H or X pipe will both remove the centre muffler (it's not needed).

You'll go straight from the headers to the X/H pipe, and then that will carry on to the 2 rear mufflers.

Any good exhaust place should emissions and sound level check it as well to ensure it's all 100% legal.

H or Straight pipes has more likelyhood of it sounding like a drag car... but also being painfully irritating and droning during freeway trips (trust me, that will grate on you).

Whatever is done, you may need to tweak the tune to get the best out of it.

Thanks for the info bro.

Definately needs a returning, I'm bored of the de-tuned 330rwkw (as the previous owner said I would) and I'll tune it back up to the original 387rwkws

@ASSASSIN @south of heaven @Mr Invisible @Mr 95% @Realist90 @Boxer @MatstaDogg @Hacky McAxe @Nasheed I wonder what's going on here. More exotics than Salim Mehajar's wedding.

An exhaust place got back to me and you're spot on bro, they also recommend a H pipe for my car.

Apparently a H pipe is basically straight pipes with a bar in between them to stop vibration. Turns the X pipe "euro high pitched" tone into a "deep muscle car" growl.

Also they added that changing the HSV headers to 4 into 1 long tubes to get it sounding more old school too. I may be wrong but I thought the HSV headers were already 4 into 1 long tubes...

H should have a hollow section bridging the two pipes to allow exhaust gasses to flow through either pipes. Else it's just a straight through pipe with a bracing piece.

X Pipe will give you more of a scream (like the Gods are pissed off and gargling gravel). So it'll be a tad smoother at idle, but when you give it the boot you'll get a really angry scream/bark to it. Think supercars when they scream at high revs, then bark and pop when backing off hard.
H Pipe will give it a more muscle car note. It'll be louder, lumpier, and sound more rougher/drag car like. Downside is it may drone at specific RPM (like say cruise control 100kph on a freeway), which can become annoying as fuck.

H gives more torque, X more power, but difference is slim to none.

X is tricker to install and may require more fabrication though to fit under the car.

I prefer X over H (for a modern V8), but it's much of a muchness as both need to be under the legal limit and comply with emissions laws.

Another good read here: https://www.bumberas.com/blog/2018/6/11/x-pipe-vs-h-pipe-exhaust

I'd be guided by what guys like CV and Castle Hill Exhaust, reckon as they specialise in such cars.

and the crappy trucks/Hummer at the end lol

Precisely

The heart was in a Lambo, I mean from a Lambo

But it didn't come from a Lambo in the video... it came from THIS Lambo. You want to know why? Because YOU have a heart of gold my brother!

I try bro, far from perfect, but I try to be a good person.

PS that looks like it's straight out of Dubai lol

I know ay. Whoever owns that probably parks it out on the street and wouldn't notice if it got knocked off. Bloody rich Arabs lol.

Speaking of rich Arabs... you know the Lykan Hypersport from Fast & Furious 7? That $4,000,000 car is made by W Motors... a LEBANESE car manufacturer. I couldn't believe it when I heard that LOL.

Fuck that looks trashy/tacky.

You know why it's so expensive? It's got 15ct diamonds in the headlights. Funny thing about the Lykan Hypersport is the word HYPE is so relevant.

Has never ever proven it's performance claims.

There's actually heaps of niche/boutique supercar makers, but few ever substantiate their claims (and it's hard to imagine the cost is fair as they are unlikely to appreciate in value unlike a Lambo/Ferrari/Koeniggsegg).

Fucthat looks trashy/tacky.

It's one of those cars that is priced so high based on looks more than performance, but I would still never say no to one if it was offered to me for say $20,000 (wishful thinking, I know).

Still, my all-time favorite is this beauty:

It's looks trashy, but in Dubai they actually spray it with gold and not gold colour.

If I had A-rab money I'd spray it in platinum to be different.

Fuck I hate Zondas. The arse end looks like disgusting and looks like 2 cars have been welded together, but each to their own.

PS Lambo is king

Having seen a Pagani Zonda in the flesh around Kenthurst many moons ago.... they are stunning in real life.

I've only ever seen one in my life. It was about 8 years ago. I was standing at the lights on Pitt St Mall ready to cross Market street and one drove down market street. As you can imagine, lunchtime during the week there was a lot of pedestrians waiting to cross, and lots of slow moving traffic down Market street. Then the Zonda came. EVERYONE standing at the lights waiting to cross got their phones out to take a photo of it. Everyone. Even me. By the time I got the phone out of my pocket, unlocked it, and opened the camera app, the Roadster was long gone

 

[Wahesh]

I hate it when people with a CRX put Supra rear lights on them... makes them look pathetic. Those lights look good ONLY on Supras.
