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 Pete (owt for a quiet life... )

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?
