sound

Hi all. I have a vu series 2 v6 ute. Its currently running a stock exhaust with a rear muffler delete (muffler cut off and pipe welded in so exhaust still comes out the back) and a growler intake. It sounds pretty good. But I want it to be louder, but not too loud as in cop bait. I've had this...

Gday all First post but have been creeping the hallways for a while now. I’ve found a lot of info on here really helpful when building knowledge on mods, so thanks to everyone who adds to these threads. I have a Harrop H02 cam (224/232 .610 114) in my Gen F2 Clubsport SV black (LS3). Great to...

Hey Guys, Just wondering if anyone could give me some help with my clutch. I recently have just had the motor rebuild. I put the motor back in with a new heavy duty clutch, flywheel and slave cylinder in. The sound only occurs when I am taking off. So when I press down the clutch no sound. It’s...

Hi Blokes, Looking at upgrading my sound system in my 2005 VZ Ute, I have torn out the stock speakers and have installed a JVC headunit. I am thinking about running a dual amp setup, with the option to run 2 subs in the future. However open for ideas on what I should do. I mainly just need...

Hi everyone, I heard a rattle when pulling away from a light with the windows down today, and tried to replicate it when I parked (which I was able to). It sounds like an exhaust/metal-on-metal rattle when revving, but only occurs when on the throttle. After letting off, the sound goes away...

ok so I've heard that from factory the VRs came with headers as stock. Would changing them to aftermarket ones do much to the sound and fuel economy or would it just be pouring money down the drain. All i want to do is have it sounding nice by also slapping on a hi flow cat and improve fuel...

I have a Calais Series 1 (Ver 4 Head unit). When the I start the car the radio comes on and everything works fine for a few seconds and then all the speakers, except the Front Center and Front Passenger side, cut out. The volume is not load and the sound from those speakers is what I would...

Hey guys, Issue 1: So I've got a bit of a weird one, roughly 5 days ago I noticed when I started my car at the end of the day (commuting back home) my car's RPM sorta fluttered and "lost power" so to speak as I pulled from the curb to drive away (it so far hasn't occurred when driving on the...

Hi I realise that people have probably brought up issues like this in the past but now that the vehicles have been out for a couple of years I thought it might be better if I just made a new post... Basically when I get underneath my car I can hear a tick sound that sounds very similar to an...

Hi! Anybody got any ideas on what kind of exhaust setup I should go with for the Calais? I love the sound it makes already, but i'd really just like a bit more volume, the thing's almost too quiet as it stands :P All stock currently, not even entirely sure of the engine model, but it's the...

Hi all, I've checked the manual, checked online, and checked in person, but still can't seem to determine exactly what model my head unit is in my 2010 Calais. I think it's the series 1 "IQ" head unit, but i'm honestly not sure. I'm considering changing head units, primarily because (due to...

Howdy Peoples, I have an interesting problem. I have a VS Statesman and the most recent of problems to rear its ugly head is an awful lumpy sound from the front left wheel. I first thought a flat spot on a tire so changed all four, I thought maybe a wheel bearing so I changed that. I...
