stefcio007's '96 MK3 VR6 [build thread]

Fkin oath thats not bad.

[stefcio007]

Droney a bit anything 2k plus. Although 3k and above the drone goes away.
Considering getting something to silence it a bit before I lose my hearing.
At the moment it's either, be light on the pedal or floor it.

No way. First car with an exhaust?

Yeah, although my dad's 2015 Falcon with stock exhaust is a tad droney too.
Maybe my ears are sensitive?

This is auto tho. You don't really get much control of the gears and revs

[HaydEn]

Lel. you do. Use the selector

[BurgundyMk3]

People really do that?

This is a drawback, but some are some tricks you can do and I've mostly figured out how the car thinks.

[stefcio007]

I literally have a straight pipe no bends where the suitcase used to be, maybe thats why I get drone?
Can I put a "hotdog" muffler in its place?

[HaydEn]

Put in a small mid muffler or glass packed resonator.

Hot dogs and vr's don't mix

Link for a suitable one? The word hotdog and resonator seemed to be used interchangeably, so I was a bit confused.

A bit of a problem, there's not enough space.
Went to another place to get some advice.
He said it won't make much of a difference putting such a small one in.

At the moment leaving it as is.
Don't know how I should tackle this.

[BurgundyMk3]

I think I read somewhere that it won't drone as much if the tip is sitting out a little further from the bumper. That's a possibility if you want to try things.

[HaydEn]

Mine had one in place of the suitcase it can be done.

Mine didn't drone and was quiet as until 4500rpm and up.
