This ^^^^^^
Ridicously loud. I have a turbo Japspeed on my V6 and it is loud, but not in the same league for horrible noise wise as a GE. Good luck! And buy ear plugs!

What do you constitute for horrible noise?
Is this Motorway driving or just for driving around town etc?
I didn't think an exhaust could have been much louder than my turbo japspeed on the V6, but hearing one on a GE I was quickly proven wrong. The V6 was used regularly for commuting to work and some long trips (my only regular drivers are MR2's) and it became increasingly more difficult to bear with. First fitted, and a new toy, it was epic! But it really does grate now. So much so it's SORN'd. My turbo which is a better driver and much quicker is so much quieter and a nicer place to be whatever the journey. Still love the V6 though! The noise is intoxicating, but only on the odd occasion, so with a GE I can only guess the novelty will wear off even quicker.
I can confirm the 5zigen Pro Racer is nice, I have one on my beams fitted with a CAT and gives a nice sound when you put your foot down but quiet enough around town.
Has anyone thought about custom fitting a Berk turbo exhaust to an NA? I had a wod with my local Jap tuners and they seem to be of the opinion that very possible just need to fabricate a step up pipe from the 2.25" to 3" to fit the Berk. I think this exhaust looks probably the best on the back of our car IMHO Someone must have though or tried this already. Berk has a nice tone to it.
As an aside, I got banned from my local multi storey carpark in the V6 with the turbo Japseed. Looking for a space at no more than 1200 revs and the entire place was car alarm central. Must have set off over a hundred I would have thought

I used to have a Fujitsubo Legalis R on my NA. But it was so loud! Instead of getting the exhaust chopped up to fit. Ask an exhaust place to make you a custom de-cat pipe. That way you don't bodge you exhaust and you can still fit other exhausts. That's what I had done on mine

Nah, he wasn't looking for a space, just being a hooligan.
No way would I leave my car in a multi storey car park. The spaces are invariably too small. An invitation to have the doors dinged. Plus some have ramps between levels so steep that they can wreck the front lip on my car.
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

No, Idling around on throttle in Lichfield where parking on a weekend is really limited. I couldn't help it! It wasn't loud, but it was the rumble of the V6! Must have been some resonance at that rpm!
Yep, definitely a harmonic frequency. I set off alarms with my Nur Spec R every time I park at the supermarket or go to Bluewater and I'm not even trying!

Thats the idea would never cut up a berk back box section just modify a new pipe to connect the two. Has anyone tried this yet? As soon as I manage to get my hands on one I want to try.

Believe me, I didn't try going into that Multi Storey! And now they've gone and built another new one! Looks like the V6 is going back on the road
Flat battery anyone in Lichfield? Because you'll have one soon
