V8 T6.1??

[tommy_t6.1]

Was out before parked up, and I saw a lovely copper bronze T6.1 approaching.
However when it drove past it sounded quite loud and sounded like a V8. It was burbling away as he let off the throttle.

Now the question is, what the hell engine or exhaust would he have fitted? It sounded lovely!

most probably a Engine exhaust speaker system . . ?

@Bear has similar fitted?

sounds like a Maserati

Before the cali I used to own a Maserati Levante 4x4, it was diesel but once you pressed the sport button the speaker system kicked in and it sounded like a proper vintage Maserati. People would often comment on how amazing the sound was, they were confused when I told them it was a diesel.

Wow, I've never seen an exhaust sound generator before. I've heard of, and had a sound actuator in my old Leon Cupra, but that was for engine noise. My have to research these exhaust ones a bit more!

How sad people have such fragile ego's

Each to their own, but to me the idea of fitting one and a half grand's worth of technology under my van to make it sound like something it clearly isn't, well I just don't get it!

 

[Paynewright]

With the onslaught of electrification we’ll all be needing them, even if only to warn pedestrians / cyclists of our otherwise (virtually) silent approach!

 

[Jlo]

I saw a video (Found it... linked below) of a T6.1 with a sound booster fitted.

 

[DaveyB]

Takes me back to the early 90’s and max power magazine. Got to say, that is definitely not for me. If I want the sound of a burbling v8, I’ll go and buy a burbling v8, because the van will never be one.
But each to their own.

 

[VanDamMan]

It reminds me of Chicken fillets …they where used to improve the appearance…but when you looked under the bonnet ..what a let down….never judge a book by its cover

I think these are a great idea.
I love the sound of a V8 but as I can't get a V8 Transporter, I would still be happy to hear that fabulous roar whilst sat in my captain seat, even if it is imitated.
We all listen to music on our phones/stereos but we are not actually sat in front of the artist.
I'm very tempted. Tunnels and multi story car parks will become a joy to drive in.
Oh and as I have a 204, i've also got the power to pull it off.

 

[DJHJKH]

you could fit one of these for a few quid more

That may be a bit above my skill set.

 

[Paynewright]

Has anyone fitted a golf R engine?

 

[Nige_g]

This would be cheaper.

 

[DXX]

This would be cheaper.

I’m doing this to all of my neighbours cars on Sunday night, can’t wait for the Monday morning chorus!!!

Your van would be just like the original batmobile with that @Lord Mfwic.

I have a sound actuator fitted with Maserati control units, I love it. We all spend a fortune making them look good with wheels, lowering kits, spoilers etc why not make it sound good?

 

[Skyliner33]

Each to their own but in my opinion absolutely ridiculous. Nothing wrong with a real big block hemi engine sound but a pair of speakers under the van is pathetic.
