Changing the sound of the engine
Hi all,
I got this idea for a long time, but did not come up with a good solution yet.
I'd love to get a more "fat" sound of the engine.
A sound like you can hear it's a V6 engine.
A bit like the nice V8

hmmmm saw it...
Not my thing, I'm glad you can't see the exhaust, and the way I use the D3, that solution would only live 1 month

well....
seen on the scratches I now have at that place of the bumper, and I already lost somewhere the shield between spare wheel and exhaust, I really don't think they last long there In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. www.m-release.com

Penguin, I don't think you'll find anything that beats the soiund of Chris's exhaust. Just a touch short of a full V8grunt sound.
And as for not lasting, The things I've seen him tackle in his D3 you shouldn't have any worries Bodsys Brake Bible

I've been looking at JE and prices, but to be honest, paying over £600 or €1000 or $800 is a bit over the edge just for having an other sound In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin. www.m-release.com

was thinking more along the lines of seeing if they can help with the part replacement you mentioned.
