Anyone else think it's just too loud, or am I getting old???

Drive the car for the first time today since fitting it and it just seems so intrusive.
 
Nope! Always thought it sounded just about right, maybe even a bit quiet sometimes. You get used to it pretty quick don't worry!
Deffo a bit louder this time of year when it's colder though.
 
Not loud enough for me as the Rogue Diablos on the rear drown it out most of the time.

I want something that is as loud as the RamAir I had on my VR6.
 
Makes no more noise than standard when driving normally. Maybe get yours checked. Love the sound when u nail it.

I had a RamAir on my VR6, but I don't remember it being this loud.
I then swapped the RamAir for a supercharger, but thats another story all together.

You're right, its fine when driving normally, but I don't drive normally as a rule. The car does about 1k a year, so I tend to enjoy it when I do use it.

Its just so loooooud
 
Yeah man only do 3000 mile a year in mine. If it’s too loud I’m sure someone will pull your arm off for it and give u £600 for the pleasure!
 
I test drove Booners old red M a few years ago, Gruppe M and an exhaust. First thoughts were “If I buy this car that bloody induction silliness will have to come off”.... Too loud for me on induction but the exhaust was brilliant, I’m about to pull the trigger on a pair of BCS boxes. The two together are just OTT but each to their own, I am 51 after all.... :D

The drone is mainly from Pastry, the car didn’t sound that bad :lol:

Quite a strong possibility it'll be coming off!

I'm going up to see mad monkey at the weekend, he's about an hour and a half from me.

If I still don't like it, I will be taking it off and selling it!

I'm honestly amazed you don't like it, imo it makes one of the best noises you can get from a 6! Each to their own though.

I think I'm just getting old, or grumpy, or both!

John, I remember Booner having an aFe intake (as he and I were the only two at the time) and Eisenmann back boxes, but I don’t remember him getting a GruppeM:

Is there anything special that needs modding to fit a Gruppe M? Love the sound, but technically lacking, as the West Sussex boys know :lol:
