Golf vr6 has a great noise to it, not much else going for it but at least you get to sound like you are going fast even if you ain't

Golf vr6 has a great noise to it, not much else going for it but at least you get to sound like you are going fast even if you ain't I think on today's roads (and my commute) that's a good way to look at it. Been thinking about a manual v8 Discovery, not fast but sounds great |

A second LS400 with exhaust tomfoolery vote from me.
Here's mine when i was in the middle of deleting the rear boxes.
I've also modified the filter housing so here is the induction sound (pre-exhaust mods).
Combined, it sounds even better but I'm hankering after binning more of the exhaust now!

Exhaust:
My Boxster with what was described as 'A chav exhaust' (Toyosport ebay special to get through an MOT)by some of the chaps I went on a drive out with, as it goes variocam.
My old SV1000 on open cans, the V8 pick up I hear every morning at 0630 going along the road behind my house or any V8 AMG Merc on full chat.
Any Merlin or Griffon engine
Induction- The 4door Chevette with 5 speed getrag and HS2300 engine on massive Dellortos built by the workshop foreman at the first garage I worked at in the late seventies ( Arlington Motors, Bedford Truck dealer , Ponders End, North London).
Audi 5 cylinder with drilled airbox

My rally car - Jenveys, ITG filter, 8.5krpm - not cheap by any measure but awesome sound. A mate got some video of it at Cadwell (from the cafe) - above all the other noise, you heard it all the way from when it exited Mansfield (fortunately rally regs are an exhaust noise test (and that end is really quiet) :-)

Why does that Triumph six sound so much better than any beemer six I've ever heard? Multiple carbs? Firing order? A lot of bmw sixes sound like my old XR3i's rattly heatshield!

Love the Triumph, there’s something v. pleasing about a straight 6. My personal favourite is a Zephyr 6 in race tune. Brings the hairs on the back of my neck up every time. I would link a vid but I have no idea how to.

I loved my wrx with a mines ecu and a 5-zigen exhaust with a custom air filter for growly induction.
I loved both my 3.0 24v gtv’s with none standard exhausts.
I adored my 12v 2.5 155 with a homemade exhaust by Shrew,,,, measured at 120dbs.

Why does that Triumph six sound so much better than any beemer six I've ever heard? Multiple carbs? Firing order? A lot of bmw sixes sound like my old XR3i's rattly heatshield! I don't know, but I love the sound of a triumph six. After years of growing up around all sorts of cars in all sorts of states of tune, both at shows and at race circuits, a night at Wimbledon Stadium introduced me to the sound of a Triumph 2000 with no exhaust or airfilters (or windows, or lights). The one in that vid was probably tuned somewhat, but the one i heared at Wimbledon was standard(ish), but absolutely on song, screaming and being drifted around the track. It is a sound that will stay with me, and I don't expect to hear anything that will better it for me. Not particulaly loud, or earthshaking, its just the sound they make. |

triumph 2000 with no silencers. They aren't that cheap but they do sound good. My 2500 estate is actually working so I've been dailying it the last few weeks, it makes me grin every time I put my foot down. Think I prefer straight 6s to V8s- certainly to actually live with day to day, addictive though the V8 rumble is. |

Id say 1uz for sure in 1uz in a Toyota Soarer, nice sounding engine strapped into over engineered Toyota that doesn't rust like most of the other 90s coupes do.

Love the Triumph. One of the smoothest engines I've ever owned.
Quite fancy side exiting my Range Rover as well.
