How can i make my V8 sound meaner?

Hi

I want the EFI V8 in my RR to sound meaner.

Im thinking of getting a K&N induction kit, and loosing a silencer for a straight though bit of pipe. Does anyone know of a supplier of such a bit of pipe?

Any other suggestions appriciated!

Mark.

Keep the silencer but ram a bar down it a few times to make sure that all baffles are destroyed. "Honest officer it must be a dodgy silencer"

If you want a throaty note, you best work on the exhaust system via the muffler. K & N will only make your intake easier to breathe.A straight pipe will make more noise but it will be at the expense of the exhaust system.

Replace the silencer by a cherry bomb, they sound awesome:

Fit a stainless sports system. Messing with exhausts will leave it sounding like a growling gowley thing but it'll pull like a frog on ice.

As she is worth about 600 notes, i think ill stick to ramming a bar in the silencer!!!

Try NRP exhausts. I just installed one on my Disco S1 and now it sounds like that Mustang in the movie "Bullitt".

Or you could do what the old motorbike hoons did - stick a broom handle through the exhaust baffles. I seem to remember the local plod used to stop them, insert their truncheons up the tail pipe, & if it went in, they were nicked ....

Remove front silencer box and replace with the largest bore size cherry-bomb available. Worked on my 110, 4.0 V8, a nice purposeful rumble without being obtrusive. Badger.

Funny, our plod used to use the same technique for arresting shirt-lifters in the 60s.
