Ok, I now have some miles on the car and have some comments on the exhaust sounds. The system that was on the car sounded great to me, what a great rumble at idle and that thundering at acceleration from about 1500 to 3000 RPM was incredible. Of course I live in the country and didn't think I would have to worry about it too much.
First issue: The wife would not drive in the car! This is a real problem for me as she is the one woman I actually want in the car with me! The car is simoply too looud for her,m especially as we take off from a stop!
Second Issue: Wakes up all the locals when I come home late and keeps their kids up late when I take it for an evening spin.
So this last weekend we went the route of trying to quieten the Series II up a bit. Ended up installing a K-Car muffler in addition to the resonator I had on it, it met the 2" ID input and output pipes. Man they are long round suckers (21") and required some great pipe welding work. It now sits between the springs on the drivers side and the gas tank.
But the car is now very quiet!
The wife and neighbours are happy but it just doesn't feel right to me!
I gotta get my V6 project going!!!
