Will I just got the cats and the balancing exhasut cut out, didnt need to remove rear mufflers as I already had them removed. We put a 16 inch coby in and when we started it up it sounded awesome idling. Unfortunately when drove of down the street under power it was like wot the hell!! it was so noisey so I went back and we stuck the rear mufflers back on, Now its back to even quieter than before and I cant stand it. so going to book car in to take off rear mufflers and put something less restrictive on the back. Does anyone know what sort of muffler to put on the back thats going to let it growl but not to loudly. Cheers guys for all your help so far, much appreciated Brent - In that photo you kindly posted on here what did it have for the rear mufflers?

Yip Wayney I know what you mean it sounds sweet under accelleration, but how come the holdens can sound like a muscle when idling and under acceleration?

Just a though,t I was told by a guy that its best to always wrap an exhaust as it takes the heat away from motor, yes I tried it and my exhaust basicly corroded withen the year, rather sad indeedy

Excellant, thanks Brent looks similar to what Im thinking of doing. Did your one end up with the ( crossover 2 into one exhaust) taken out and a bit of pipe joined later down the exhaust for the crossover? ( looking at photo I think this is what I can see) Im thinking its that big crossover muffler where the sound is getting changed. Any ideas peoples on Apex's idea about the 2 pipes going into one? isnt this the standard set up of what that big original crossover muffler does? yes the one which Im thinking is causing my problem. Hmmm

Just of interest I just added some led side mirrors to my e38 so if any one having issues I should be able to help. Cheers

I now own a e38 and plan on keeping this one till death do us part as I love the look of this model. The only problem I have is it doesnt have that real v8 rumble like chevs. I have deleated the rear mufflers which did help a little, but still no where to the sound Im after. Any help will be much appreciated
