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

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.

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

If I only replace the last demper, either with a dummy empty one or a tube, wound't that give the same effect?In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.

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.
