loud exhaust
« on: 28 February 2009, 13:38:29 »
Are omega's normally noisy from the back end? The back box is not blowing but whilst driving around , it seems quite noisy.I can hear the v6 rumble which is nice but it can get drowned out by the exhaust , any ideas anyone.

It will need to wait for now , got to sort out a new oil cooler yet. The price of a new back box is surprisingly reasonable but got to prioritise.

V6 mig's dont have a balance pipe in the front sections of the exhaust so the back box does all the work.
Mine had a 6 foot length of string out of the back  when the last box failed,but it sounded sweet.
