Modify stock exhaust boxes for more v8 burble?

[27litres]

It depends how the back box is made.
"Straight through" boxes use perforated pipes and still have sound deadening material in them.
Done properly, I don't see why it should drone...

Still, exhaust frequencies are a bit of a black art and manufacturers spend big $$ researching exhausts.

This is a very common modification on BMWs, this is the man you want to talk to:

And I am convinced no one spends more than VWAG, my little Passat 1.8T sounds juuuust right, considering what it sounds like without an exhaust; and I've heard a lot of modified 1.8T exhausts, none of which I'd wish on an enemy... Do wish the turbo was audible though, but that's one thing the VWAG techs wanted to silence.

Can't get his site to work and I'm allergic to FB (but I might try later) Anyway, Thanks; I'm in the US but I will talk to him (on speakerphone so my kids can hear how our language is PROPERLY pronounced - as opposed to the friggin hillbillies' diction here) - Hell, it costs me over $10,000 a year to send them to private schools so they do not think "Tire" and "Fire" have only one syllable. But that's another story... People in the Southern US are borderline retarded. Just watch the "Top Gear" where they tour my part of the country (sic) I assure you the rock throwing and other idiocy is NOT staged.

God bless you every one, and merry ****in Christmas ya burks.
