straight through rear boxes?

I think most of the posts here refer to straight through pipes from front to end but as far as I understood the question was regarding the end boxes.
I had 3 types of straight through end boxes mounted on my 3200 GT.
First were OEM rust removal mufflers.
After 65.000km’s the inner stuff of the mufflers was rusted and blown out. Completely empty! The sound was nice but at some frequencies it sound like an empty can of Pepsi.
Second was a plain straight through with just two Y-pieces. That was probably even 10kg weight reduction. Sound was louder than the previous but a little metall’ish.
My favorite straight throughs are the Fox stainless steel boxes. They are basically straight through, but the pipes have a special kind of perforation inside, surrounded by damping wool.
That sound is addictive! Lots of soft bass at low rpm and screaming when it comes to 6000rpm.
They also look stock and did not alarm the police in the last 5 years.
Here the police is very strict with regards to loud noise.
They will measure the decibel compared to stock and if too loud, they will collect your license plates on the spot and getting them back is not an easy task.
Thats interesting about your police, what country are you in?

It’s in Austria.
I know in the UK the plates are somehow bound to the car and remain the same even if the car is sold as far as I know.
Here it can happen that during a weekend trip to the alps they will check you and leave you stranded in the nowhere without plates if too loud.
The weirdest things happened in the district Tirol, motorcycles with more than 95 dB were banned from the streets, even if they came from factory with e.g. 98dB. :mad:

Yeah, it's gone downhill quite badly since you were last here, unless you like a little French car or have the picture of the day or have an unhealthy interest in ancient Women, or you've spotted a masser, actually doesn't have to be a masser you've spotted, yeah all pretty ****!

I hate french cars, I don’t have a picture of the day, I only have an unhealthy interest in some younger than ancient women and don’t look out for Masers. Best we try and get back to what we do best which is; taking the p!ss, insulting each other and generally offending any soft skinned woke within earshot. Things that made this forum so popular at the start.

200 cell sport cats and stock everything else on my old Vantage.

My god I loved that noise. After I had the 200 cell cats fitted, I could not stop laughing with glee for the entire journey home.

Please stop looking in the mirror whilst you type, its clearly getting you agitated. Your face just looks like that.

Now wipe the drool up off your keyboard, remember your 3200 was better at sound production than it was at moving and go make fun at Dem's latest escapade

;)

Better?

Sounds epic! Can I ask how you made the recording? Fancy getting some footage of my Gransport with Larinis and x pipe. Not sure if I will need an external mic for best results?

Glad you enjoyed it!

Go Pro inside the car
Microphone plugged in to the Go Pro, running outside the car, and taped to the rear bumper.

You've got to get the right microphone - a lavalier

Checking lavalier mics on Amazon now! Will post my results when I have managed to get it working.

I had a couple of V8 Vantages, one coupe and one roadster. Both 4.3. Whilst they sounded very nice, they didn't sound anything like as nice as yours!

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Looking forward to hearing yours

Whilst I'm always up for taking the p!ss out of our tame turk, I've only ever owned the best bits of a 3200. Also, it's not drool that needs wiping off my keyboard. :D

Glad you got round to responding mate, I thought I'd finally actually offended you!!!

Hope you've had a good weekend.
