Does anyone have experience of the difference between the tail pipe with resonator and the straight through pipe? Currently the noise is a mellowed burble - very pleasant and discreet. I assume a staright through will be noisier but will it 'burble' more?


A straight through tends to promote a "barking" type sound with individual pulses sounding more like a "bang" if you're after a "burble" then converting to only a "straight through" will give you ear ache and not a very trad-v8 sound.

As +8's have individual pipes from each bank with no balance pipe the "burble" will always be harder to get. If your after the real american style/TVR burble then you're better of going for a balanced rear section. Although I've no idea who does such a thing for a Mog +8.

Best of luck.
