quicksilver exhuast....how loud?

[john matrix]

i was thinking of upgrading the standard exhuast to a quicksilver jobbie as i see a lot of vee owners do and apparently it gives more power but was wandering how loud it makes it coz im a little worried that it might make me sound like a max power tosser!!

I believe there are two versions. OMG! and standard I can still hear the radio.

Jainy has an article in the Knowledge Base in the How To section. It may mention what the noise levels are (possibly).

 

[john matrix]

do u have the standard fitted to ur car? does it sound a lot different to the original ,still has that burbly v6 sound?

 

[Jamesv6]

I have a one of Prospeed D-cat system fitted to my car, and a 4 way amp fitted under the seat.

I once believed aftermarket exhausts might spoil that lovely v6 sound, but they enhance it in my limited opinion.

I fitted the OMG a few weeks back and I love it, though it is a little too loud. On over runn it pops and bangs gets lots of attention I think they rate the OMG (supersports) at 98db, If you drive the car every day I would recommend you think about getting the Quicksilver sports which is rated at a lower 92db which is still loud compared to the standard backbox at 81db

Yep, can vouch personally for that and so can my hearing..!!! 98db for the OMG QS, cause I had it fitted on my Vee for nearly 9 months......it is deafening at 2,000 and 4,000 revs....but sounds amazing when it pops and burbles on the over run....totally amazing actually....but I think it seriously impaired my hearing, as I was doing some serious mileage in it at the time....

I have the OMG and love it. Sounds really good on over run and really adds to the engine note when combined with a BMC or pipercross Filter too.

alot better than standard.

LOL

Does the standard Quicksilver also pop and bang on the overrun aswell? Am keen to get a new exhasut and only want sound quality enhanced not ruined with something that is just loud but no quality. At the same time don't want to go too loud. Love the popping and crackling on the overrun though
