Battle of the V8 Rumbles.....

[gorvid]

In a loud contest, what would be the likely results of the following cars:

V8S
Chim 5.0 / 4.5 / 4.0
Griff 5.0 / 4.3 / 4.0
V8 Wedge....?

Im just wondering who is the loudest versus who is the quickest...





[homersimpson]Hmmmmmm........loud contest.....[/homersimpson]

[HarryW]

Debaffled probably they are much as muchness. Although the de-catted cars have an angry 'bark' that the later cars cannot match. Standard probably the big wedge ..... AIMHO.

Wedge . . end of

Rev-erend found the answer to this at the Growl and Wedgefest last year.

As Harry says, standard probably not much in it with the precat cars....! Maybe the Big wedges just edging it! Its when you get them modified that it makes a difference, Hoovers Precat 4.3 Griff was the best car I had heard until I had the cherry bomb fitted to mine have a listen.....!

Sound could be better as taken from within the car from a normal digi camera, does sound evil though... ? Turn those speakers up............

Later

I thought that in standard factory finish (I know, I know.... standard factory finish), The bigger Wedges were the loudest made?

On the SEAC they 'forgot' to leave space for a proper silencer.

Most SEAC's have what looks like a slightly large motorcycle race can.
i.e. straight through pipe with a bit of wadding around the outside that hardens with age

decatted sports exhaust 4.5 cerbera!

This sounds very much like the 'cherry bomb' conversion ...... a straight through pipe with wadding around the outside to give a deeper growl......... Thats what mine has!

IMHO if all cars are standard then the Big wedges/SEAC's probably are the best sounding! Sp6 and AJP8 just dont do it for me im afraid...?

Is this about standard or non-standard cars?

I'm sure SOMEONE has a car with no exhaust at all.
