My new ride

**Kingsford G** · Sunday 17th November 2013, 09:11

I don`t really want loud exhausts etc,may be just under bonnet growl from a filter.Loud exhaust doe my headding on a long run and the thing is you have to either do 55mph or 80+ quet it down.

Looking good, it looks like you have the brakes and suspension from a XC90...

Not sure about suspention but brakes are big,the clearance between the cally and wheel is about 10mm.

the calipers are the same as the xc (as is your rear suspension from the look of it) stick the 336 disks on there and see what clearance there is

i well built system wont droan. i get a nice burble and no droan at any speed. if it did id remove it straight away.

you need a another silencer. just a little one. the wadding in yours is probobly poor quality stuff that dosnt last very long.

Think 350 bhp is available will the usual mods, exhaust, filter, stg 3 map.

for stage to you need a uprated filter. they are cone filters on these anyway. only 40 quid for a decent one. down with at least 200 cell and a free flowing exhaust and and your ready to go.

If you build a catback that is drone free, I might be interested.

**graemewelch** · Sunday 17th November 2013, 11:48

wear abouts are you. i could take you out in mine to see what you think.

**T5RatherAmusin** · Sunday 17th November 2013, 12:14

Was drone free in my old obx system as is with my current powerflow and 3" decat. ..

**Biff** · Sunday 17th November 2013, 12:16

I'll be honest my system doesn't drone at all. It's lovely.
One of the reasons I went for Jetex was its slogan"the silent performer" I wouldn't say it was silent but it sounds good when the loud pedal is pressed so reckon graemes right on that one.
I hate loud cars, especially something as comfy & smooth as a Volvo.

**LiamT4** · Sunday 17th November 2013, 12:27

Suddenly mine doesn't look so high of the ground lol.

Looks good for an ex police though.

**WOODY T5** · Sunday 17th November 2013, 12:30

She looks all white mate nice car

**expolicev70t5** · Sunday 17th November 2013, 15:17

Sweet looking ride, don't like droney exhausts either, hence why I put on a ferritta, but I'm sure Graeme could make you something similar at a fraction of the cost.
