I've got a V6 MK1 Granny & that sounds lovely, but I don't think you'll ever get the same kind of growl out of a Scorp.....not unless it has a V6 Essex fitted

I will probably be slated for this but  here goes....
I think the only time a car sounds good is when you can hardly hear the engine... can't understand why people want their cars to sound as if they have a hole in their silencer, after all the silencer is or should be just that, A Silencer

Oh no...that's loud, Sherman tank loud 
What the Scorpio really needs is twin pipes with crossovers near the silencers...keep it mute at low revs but let it rip when you feel like driving...spirited

Some people are no fun, im not wanting the typical loud fart noise the boy racers have, just a system than sounds nice. Why have a V6 engine with a wispering exaust, thats al im saying lol

dogma...im with u m8....most nasty sounding pipes the size of a sewer pipe are attatched to 1.0 corsas or saxo's,be nice to hear an aftermarket pipe on an engine with some real grunt...after all we wouldnt be trying to make our engine sound like a v6 with a big bore pipe,its already a v6.Question being......true car enthusiast,walking in town when a 6ltr yank job rummbles up behind you...do u look because you think its a d**n horrible noise or because you wanna see whats making such an awesome note?

Aye up, there's that Jonny chappie again
Love that Mk1 Granny mate, even the 2.8 Cologne couldn't beat the growl of the old Essex lump 
Where was that clip taken? Looks like a place in Laindon I used to go to, can't remember the name of it though.
Regards, Bruce .
