What does one have to do to make a e38 sound like a proper v8

[twisted 45]

Haha, flowmasters, well they will give a hollow rattling American V8 sound, not very Euro like!

Pretty sure thats what the OP is after!

The only problem I have is it doesnt have that real v8 rumble like chevs

haha yeah true.

Well maybe the answer is to sell it and get an old slush mobile of a Chevy or Cadillac.

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?

make sure you know what you are doing re the O2 sensors if you removing cats...

OP where abouts have you been taking it. There is a expert on V8's in New Plymouth, I think he's based out by the waiwakaiho hill. My old man got his C4 vett sounding sweet from there after trying a few others around town. I think that pink NZ V8 car that is for sale driven by that lady is based there, i'll get you the name later.
