Exhaust "Rule" Update ...

Big deal! - my Fiat bambina always did that if you forgot to push the choke button in fully!!

Hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahah.
When I was a teenager I used to cruise around in a Morris Minor. Had about a a 1 1/4 pipe out the back and top speed was around 70mph if you were lucky.
Still nothing was funnier than passing someone cos the boys used to crank down the windows and wave their fists in the air like we'd just won a World Championship.

Still it sounded less gay than a rotary. Pretty robust too.

Don't laugh, I had a 10 minute drag race up the Kilmog ( north of Dunedin) years ago against a Morris 1100, I managed to beat it (just) in my 997cc Ford Anglia, the race took the whole Kilmog (about 2km) and we reached the head-spinning speeds of 95lm and maybe a little more!!

[Stevo]

Yeah I know the Kilmog.
Sounds like it was Looooooooong before the road mods. The 1100s were grunty compared to the thou though.
Anglias were pretty cool in their day tho. Good to watch in pre 65 racing too.

Noisy cars bug me.
Just don't sound as good as a bigger type bike. I love pulling up beside boy racers on the 6 hundy. It growls as a V8 or V6 car, even though theirs is louder they cannot wait to pull away as they know their loud car just doesn't sound as good.
Kinda like a woman who screeches a high pitched yell. Loud but not cool!!!!

Ahh yes, still got three of them (plus a 'parts' car) and the race one will pull 7,000rpm in 4th (top), more if it didn't have a rev limiter. The 'bomb' is Mrs SDs 1300cc run-a-round and my 'project' is a 1600 X-flow/5-speed item. (Anglias we're talking here!!)

Then my H-D and 7litre+ F100 and 5litre+ Mitral will not annoy your ears too much eh?

Nah.
Not a Harley fan, BUT never ridden one.
The other two

Surely you cops must chuckle when you are pulling some of these 13 15 and 1600s up with loud exhausts. Nothing funnier than huge exhausts on charades and starlets!!!!!!!

The H-D is cool, almost any Jap Bike will beat it but it's still cool, ride one and you'll see what I mean! (as I've said in an earlier post, swapped bikes with my mate, he had a VFR and I had me ol' shovel-head, afterwards I thought 'man 6 speeds and brakes that work, what a cool bike's, he told me 'man, that noise and looks, wish my VFR had that'

Yeah the xorst thing is a dag - most have a big-arse 8" (200mm) outlet but when you look under the car it is hooked up to a 2" (100mm) type factory system.
Ask them what else they've done and at most they say ' I've put a pod filter in it' BFD, a whole 8hp over the factory 70hp!!

Of cousre there is the odd 'serious' Boy racer that knows his stuff.

BTW This is the ONLY area that HQ Holdens, XW & XW Falcons etc rule, come down here and you won't believe it, no bull!!

[Stevo]

Yeah yeah. I been through your way a number of times. Got an uncle out Drummond way.
Least they drive real cars. lol
Mind you I only drive an Accord, but nonetheless it is quick comfortable and has enough grunt for all I do. 250k for a 8 yr old car. Hehe. I get around a bit.
