Accentuating the V6

[sambomonkee]

I have a jan speed back box which is nice, not too loud, but I would to bring the V6 noise out more.

I know putting a better induction on will do that, but which is better for bringing out that growl, an open cone filter(cheaper :) ) or a inclosed one, or TBH any other ideas to get that V6 noise "out there"

[M17TT180]

Decat.

[Craig-ZS180]

I've got an open itg foam filter on mine routed into the inner wing with alloy pipe work and my god does it let the v6 growl when you put your toe down and just a purposeful grunt under normal driving. (Matt) WalkerDnB did it to his and also said he lies the transformation it gives.
That, the decat and piper at back certainly change the sound and performance for quite little cost. Only thing I got new was the filter and pipe work so had good deals on the rest :)

Go any examples of the filter you used on the bay or online anywhere?

[Craig-ZS180]

I will try to find some relevant links for you and will post up when found.
All I can do at the mo is show how it ended up, there are ways to make it cheaper by routing the iacv pipe to the inner wing rather than the pipe it connects to on mine but have heard differing reports as to how good that is.
Anyway, here's my finished setup.

Yum, do you want to make a few more ;)

Did you use that Axe in the picture to help make it :D :D :D

Haha, it wasn't difficult once I found the bits I needed in all honesty. Once the parts were all here it took about half hour to get it all connected to know where all needed to sit and then another 20 mins to fit back together under the car on my back. Just fine adjustments under the car so it didnt rub anywhere it shouldn't.
Think iirc it cost around £140-160 as a total but there are cheaper ways to get round some parts I think now. But give or take a few £'s that's the area you would be looking to pay for a like for like or similar setup.

Did enjoy getting it all together though, was very pleasing web all came together and the first sound check happened :thumbsup:

That was the most important part of the equipment lol :D :D

a 4" inch cat back system has given a lovely sound to mine :) sounds excellent under acceleration and not loud at all when just cruising, that and a viper pipercross induction kit, sound awesome together and have given my car an extra 10bhp :) love the way it pops and crackles aswell :)

I agree with Pete, if you have the money to put into the car the same setup as Ollie's would be sweet. His car sounds awesome, I've only ever heard it from online videos but when compared to how mine sounds online and then in reality his must be so very sweet in person.

My setup is far far cheaper but does sound good for the costs.

It would be cool if you can let me know where you got all the piping from, did you have to bend it yourself, or just by it component form?

That's not a problem at all, I would gladly do it for you but it was all prefabricated parts I used so its really just a case of buy them and put it together so it really wasn't too difficult. If I'd actually done the pipe work myself I'd have been much more chuffed about it but I don't have the gear to bend pipe work like that and if I did I'm sure it'd never be as good.
I think I've found the links to various different bits now so once back at the computer or rather when the mrs gets back home with it I will put all the links up I can to help you out.
Can then choose whether our rather go the alloy way or the silicone way.
Would you rather a list on this link or via a pm?

List might be good for people in the future, but its up to you if some of it is private links etc.

4" cat back - are you sure its not just a 4" tailpipe, as in 4" back-box-back?

[chris01]

you know what i meant lol, its a 3inch cat back with a 4inch back box

[Craig-ZS180]

Right, well here it goes with the list. Main thing I was telling myself was I needed to keep the main hoses 76mm internal diameter and the breather hose 19mm internal.

With all the extra bits of pipe work along side of the kit you may think why but that when you only use 2 or 3 pipes as a max but when you compare the cost if the kit against buying more of the 90 degree pipes seperately it actually becomes cheaper this way.
Again its only a guide as its what I used.
The silicone pipes again which ever colour you decide to go for can be selected before the buy now option and I believe three of the bits are from the same supplier so would get in one hit.

Hope its of some help to you.

Then you would just need to choose a filter you want for it along with some larger hose clips or equivalent. My most expensive part as went as big as possible on the itg one that would fit. Filter as with all this kit is just a guide but I can say im very pleased with how it works for me.

then you should have something that looks like my setup.

I have a jan speed back box which is nice, not too loud, but I would to bring the V6 noise out more.

I have a Janspeed backbox and when I changed my centre section from OE to Janspeed it made a noticeable difference to the sound. All very positive.

+1 for mine too
started all stock
then added x power rear box
then added x power centre section
then removed x power rear box and fitted blue flame duplex rear section now sounds ok to me:yay:

Wow brilliant I owe you one, best get ordering

[Skillen]

Literally just finished putting an xpower janspeed backbox on my hatch.
I went from standard to stainless decat and centre section. Sounded good and gave a good little kick.
Then I added an ITG Maxogen. Sounds brilliant nice induction roar and awesome sucking noise lol! and the engine seemed to love it!

And now I've added this! Haven't even started it since fitting so will have to wait and see how it sounds! :)

[Craig-ZS180]

No worries mate, hopefully if you do go ahead with this route you'll be very pleased with the outcome. :D :thumbsup:

[Skillen]

http://youtu.be/JFM3jtoujUk

That's its first start with the new janspeed
Dunno what that other background noise is though lol

[Craig-ZS180]

I like the sound of that Skillen, it is quite a different sound from the Janspeed/Xpower setup compared to my Piper I have fitted. Quite a different tone from them after hearing your exhaust on here.

This was the sound of mine with the induction and a stainless rear box on its own, before full piper stainless cat back and the decat being fitted.

Sorry about the video being removed but everytime I went to view it, it was freezing and cutting out so wasn't sure if was the clip or something else.
I shall try to load it again tomorrow using YouTube once crossed it over and see if it works any better. Dont know if anyone else watched it and it worked but wasn't on my computer or phone :(
