cut the mufflers out

Put 4.2L stickers on the side and hang your head out the window making truck noises


Or get a after market exhaust with a fully sick rice muffler

3 inch mandrel bent

put in a 3inch straigh through with extractors, and a good tip
or hotdog on it

option 2. drill holes in it

has anyone ever put say a straight through, 2 , 2.5,? i wouldnt imagine shed have the steam to push a 3.......

think i'll leave making truck noises alone

any practicle experience?

mark

i know of a guy who put a traigh throught 3inch on his vl tubo and it was very loud
a guy i went to tafe with back in newcastle few year ago


i got a 4.2l with a 2.5 on it at sertain rpm it sounds nice but i want more deep sound to it

Put couple of turbos there and listen how they whisles there.

the 3l makes more torque and horsepower than the 4.2TD (not the intercooled version) if i remember.. (could be wrong)

so in that case.. the 3 inch zaust should be good enough to free up all the extra ponies.

and the safari d-tronic should finish the package nicely..

extractors arnt possible to fit with a turbo

I assume it will be similar, though my TD5 has a factory 2.5" system, which is now only running the last muffler. Sounds a bit more ballsy than OE.

i wasnt saying with turbo because yes ur right it wont work

Im with tom apparently with the tunit or D/tronic and a in mandrel they really open up and go pretty hard somewhere in the vasinity of 25%and 30% gains

i ran mine with a 3" no, muffler and a dtronic

made loads of power and sounded much better

tell your boss to trade it in before it expires..... they are grenade engines.. trash.. you trying to make a 3ltr sound good is like laughing at a dickhead with a hyundi that has a cannon muffler....

having already tried for the 4.2 and no luck considering its free i really dont want to argue............ so it's either stock sound or try for a little more pleasant sound than tick tick tick

whats these d-tronics etc worth?

how many inch were you suggesting mandrel chief?

Tape record a 4.2TD then play it back in the troll flatout with the window's down.

Sorry bingham i ment to type 3 in try north coast 4x4 or north side4x4 but i think its in the vasinatie of $2500 for full exhaust and dtronic or tunit or the likes all fitted with a full before run and after run and tune on the dyno but dont quote me on it!

About 15 hunge for the dTronic. About another 9 hunge for the zaust. Be careful with it tho, they have a cat converter. Don't bin it, as the lack of backpressure will upset the engine management. I know a zaust shop near Brissie that will actually flare out the entry and exit of the stock cat to match a larger dia mandrel bent zaust. Supposed to really do the job.

I have the dTronic and am very happy with it.

we are talkin about the 3 litre turbo diesel engine? and not the rb30?

just to clarify

Congrats on the free car Bingham .. ya lucky bastard ..... however the bad news is there is no way to make a 3 litre GU sound good .... not because it has the wrong exhaust ... not because you have to run the cat converter (as someone mentioned earlier) ... and no not even because they are the same capacity as a large container of milk ... no it because they only have half the required amount of cylinders mate. If it aint a V8 it's never gonna sound good

Cheers

Turbo scream sounds good.

i threw away the cat on mine when i went 3" mandrel, most diesels don't have them and the RTA wouldnt have a clue

made a huge difference on a straight pipe and dtronic

got a 3' mandrel right through on mine with a straight through muffler... sounds nice...(for a diesel) and gets a nice turbo whistle... i even have passengers looking round for cops at times from the sound

only cost me 600 bucks and has probably increased the grunt by 15% or so

remove engine and fit a fuel injected 502.. sounds good I reckon.

Broom handle up the muffler ... ?
