hey guys, do any of you know where I can get something to make my 1988 vander plus sound cool, instead of it being completely silent

 

Hi csperling,

Welcome to the forum!

I think if you will simply pronounce the model of your car correctly, Vanden Plas ("VAN-den-Plah"), it will sound much cooler.

(sorry, couldn't resist.)

Have you looked at the performance exhaust systems from AJ6 Engineering?:

I don't really understand why you would want it to make noise.... but each to their own.

I guess you could always throw a couple of hot dogs on instead of the mufflers lol

 

I love the silence. The fact the car still has plenty of power, being silent..

But if your stuck in the cab of a locomotive for 9 to 12 hours a day, you appreciate silence..

 

I'm with KC7 on this, I love the fact that my Daimler's quiet, it's a luxury car so you expect smooth and quiet then you have the growl of the 4L when you put the foot down.
Each to there own but remember your are cutting and adding to a stainless steel exhaust system that would normally not need attention for the life of the car.

Generally, if you remove the front mufflers....that is, the ones roughly under the back seat area.... you'll get a moderate increase in sound.....a slightly deeper overall sound. Whether that's cool or not is up to your tastes.

It's hard to make a straight six sound cool, IMHO. Jaguar and some others managed to get a cool sound on some of their sportier models (like the E-type) but I'm sure it was no accident. It probably took a lot of work and experimenting to get the sound 'just right'.

Yes, but the "s" in "Plas" *should* be pronounced !
