What you need is a valve in the exhaist to make it loud whan you want it.

Re: Post some vids boys!!
Hey mats,
I have the electric valve. But what I would like is a vacuum actuated valve. something like a pierburg vacuum actuator controlling the valve in the exhaust. Most new cars have this setup.

Re: Post some vids boys!!
Exhaust bypass valves are illegal for my type of car (club plate rego).
Besides, I've never liked my cars loud, prefering a low growl to loud howl.

Re: Post some vids boys!!
I didn't mean to open it straight out at the manifolds, just bypass a muffler or two to make it a bit louder.

That's the problem of having a car so low, no room underneath for any mufflers, so one and only one, is mounted transversely across the back.
Not ideal for the full V6 symphony but that's life.
I could run twin side pipes like a lot of V8 rods. I did consider it until a guy sent me a sound clip of just such a set up in an alfa powered locost and it sounded real weak.

Re: Post some vids boys!!
Great work.
But I am confused
You build and Rod paint it look at me yellow.
So you want to been seen but not heard?
A carbi 3.0 would have been perfect sound for this Rod
Is there a link to the complete build of this car ?

Re: Post some vids boys!!
I think twin side pipes on an Alfa GTV6 sound great. I have a video of that somewhere on youtube.

Re: Post some vids boys!!
Hey Greg, i recently watched a youtube video of a guy driving a gtv6 with side pipes, and it sounded terrible. The guy filming it was laughing everytime the guy put his foot down, as though he liked it, but i cringed everytime!
I have no doubt a pair of side pipes would sound great, but the car i mentioned in the vid, well i'm sure its not a gtv6, but a 4 instead. No bonnett bulge, late 70's Alfetta?
Why he listed it as a gtv6 i'll never know...
Most would have seen this before, but honestly, how bad does this Alfa sound!!??

Re: Post some vids boys!!
This is the car with the side pipes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVozCnA30gY but they collect into a Y at the rear.
The owner sent me a short vid of how it sounded without the Y and it sounded real flat.
Here is his website for the build up.

Hopefully after inspection I can get mine sounding a bit crisper.
