For those who have a QS or QS OMG

[Tim]

Depends what you consider chav or cheesy to be....

A driver can make any car look cheesy/chav to other folk....

If I'm being honest....MIkeT's car to me looks chav/cheesy and overstated but its one of the best engine modded V6s there is.

Sorry Mike, but no disrespect meant at all, its just the image it portrayed in Fast Car this month wasn't for me.

I remember why I stopped buying that Mag about 10 years ago. Its terrible.......would have been better in practical performance car or Race & Track car mag or something!

I refuse to never buy those 'chav' mags ever again.

Thank God for EVO, Top Gear & Car....

Well if it sounds like a corsa with a Halfrauds exhaust, then no I think its not my cup of tea, if it sounds awesome and like a performance car, them i'll lap it up

 

[oatz]

I sold my OMG to jainy when i was selling my mk1..main reason that I needed her std backbox to go on the car..

It does sound fapping fantastic..really nice! tunnels are amazing...be warned though..window down driving becomes the norm..and motorways can be tedious..especially under load I.E up hills etc..

heres a clip of me ragging through a tunnel lol...my mate holding the cam said he nearly went deaf...and another of me just revving...listen to the crackles!

That tunnel clip sounds amazing!! Have oyu only had the backbox changed or have you gone the whole hog?

CHav ??? AM not aware of a more boyracerish car being produced???

You have to remeber the noise of a 1 litre corsa with a cheery bomb exhaust wil never sound like a big engine such as a V6, TVR, M3, Subaru/EVO etc with a similar induction/back box set - up.

You can't polish a turd!

The induction and exhaust mods on a V6 only aid in getting the best sound out of the Vee......try taking the engine covers of and going for a drive and see how that sounds.

If you like that (which I did) you shouldn't have too much bother with a backbox which is about 50 decibels quieter!

Remember QS make exhausts for Lotus etc.....the reputation/heritage is there!

The V6 was hardly designed/put into production to satisfy the "Boy Racer" market now was it....get a grip!

It maybe a car boy racers aspire to have and it may have rather overt styling, but boy racer it's not

Dictionary definition of the term;

Boy racer ; see Ford

oats..just the backbox...also a Piper X filter

Will do sorry not meaning to attract stalkers

Ehhhhh???

The Janpspeed full system includes manifolds high flow cats and removes the collector box. Improves BHP and brings the torque in earlier.

Do a search for all the info (dyno traces etc) that have already been posted.

BUT Remember Janspeed is:
- expensive
- fitting is costly
- the emissions light will come on
- and you'll fail the MOT.

QS is only the back box hence gains are less but its cheaper and easier to fit.
