Wanting to make my V8 sound like a proper V8
« on: December 13, 2019, 05:07:52 pm »
Hi guys,

Wanting to make my 2004 sound more like a V8. Has stock set up obviously converted to RHD.

Are there any relatively simple mods (exhaust/headers etc) that you can recommend. Don't want to go overboard with a custom system. Looking to spend around $1-$1.5k.

TIA

BossHogg,

High flow cats, Magnaflow mufflers, X pipe, 2 1/2" system. Sounds like a V8+

Keep your original exhaust setup in case you have to meet noise emissions in the future...
