A hire one is better. That's what got me hooked.I'm telling you nothing on the road is faster than a hire car/van. Nothing!After that any transit is the drag race king!
If you still have it you need to do this tomorrow hahaha
Exhaust banging on modified cars - whats the point?
- Thread starter shifty_uk
- Start date

Hope that's not your own footage. Poor Mondeo didn't need cutting up like that, with a crappy gear change on the slip road to boot.

Yeah I followed that story. Did you see when he raffled off the M4 and some 20 year old won it who said he'd probably just end up selling it? BURN!
I'd love to find out who bailed him out and fronted the cash so he could buy the car...
Wasn't aware of that, will have to go find it!
I have it until 8am monday morning
But right now it's sitting outside with a full load, my mum is moving out of the country so im just the removals guy. Im spent as have been moving furniture since 8am. Tomorrow though a bit of traffic light GP might be in order

Thinking about my friends 69 plate 140i. The facelifted mustache one. That had a pop and bang map on it from factory. He said that they've now changed that and removed it from factory due to complaints.

I dislike loud exhausts. There's a small hatchback, which I can only believe to be a boy racer Corsa, with a really loud exhaust that bangs as he over revs it. This has happened 2-3 times now, after 2300hrs and I hate it. They should be banned.

Well, that's what he told me. But I think it was down to the Euro emissions targets apparently, doing a little googling.Really?
I haven't heard that before, complaints resulting in a change. It's quieter now due to PPF.

This thing makes over 511WHP from an N/A quad rotor by the way...

Here’s a video I took from my Nest of the local ****. Not only does car sound ****, look how hard he’s accelerating in a 30.
I can quite easily prod my Z4 into crackling on overrun, but it does sometimes let loose a crack or bang itself. Only changes done to the car is a backbox mod that seemed to 'release' a lot of the noise. Beforehand you could hear it in the car, very muffled, whereas now it's far clearer. But I find it to be quite a realistic noise for a 3 litre straight 6 engine to be making, unlike the noises that come from the Ford section of car shows
The RS3 will pop/bang on aggressive/high rpm downshifts, and annoyingly on startup it usually lets out a little burble as the car blips the throttle (it’s a bit embarrassing as it’s not me doing it, well other than pressing the starter button!).
The car has the Audi optional sports exhaust so it can sound pretty loud.
What I don’t get though is reading on the various RS3 forums all anyone seems to want is to make it louder and more pops and bangs all the time.
Sounds naff as hell imho, it’s fine/loud enough from factory although mine is an earlier one so isn’t muted with the revisions over the years (gpf etc).
And it’s nice and quiet when in normal driving mode and being driven normally (again people on the forums seem to have an obsession with driving everywhere in these in dynamic mode, traction control off, throttle floored everywhere)
Will have to see if I can find the video everyone was creaming over where it sounded god awful.

A nice subtle pop and crackle is fine, my M135i does it in sport and sport plus modes bit it's not overbearing. I suppose it's a bit antisocial but I do enjoy the noise.
Id take a flat 6 over a v6 any day of the week. The v6 in my TT doesn't sound nearly as nice as the flat 6 in the porsche.
