Firstly, Hi - A new owner and forum member !

I recently took the plunge and bought an 07 SC and so far really enjoying the car and getting used to all it has to offer. However, the previous owner had an aftermarket Tony Banks exhaust fitted which is a bit too loud for me so I'm considering looking for a standard item to replace it.

How loud or quiet is the standard item ?

I do like a bit of a rumble but the one I have at the moment is just a bit OTT

Cheers

Welcome !


Very refined & quiet, esp from Drivers Seat with windows up.
Even if you give it some beans, I don't think you would consider it loud.
Only time I hear a decent exhaust note is when I am standing behind it and SWMBO drives away. Alcohol and eBay is never a good mix

Too quiet really, until you get between buildings or in a slow moving traffic jam when heads turn at the rumble/woofle! Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

Thanks both.

I wonder if I might be going too far the other way then. Decisions, decisions...

I've found a s/h oem on ebay for £300 ish all in inc fitting etc, I could try and recoup a few quid on the one I already have I suppose.

I'll have a think

Cheers

We have a few SC exhaust systems here sir

Would happily exchange an aftermarket one if that would help sir...

Good deal to be done there if Craig swaps them over for you

win win

Hi Craig

That could well work - I'll give you a call to discuss.

Craig does loads of other stuff as well, maybe you could get your oils changed, serviced etc.... ... - .- -.

Good thinking Stan

Having read up on how best to go about buying a used SC I ignored most of it and bought the first one that took my fancy so some reassurance (or otherwise!) that I haven't bought a bag of spanners wouldn't go a miss

I would potentially be interested in a trade for my standard one?? How loud is loud?? 4.2 Supercharged Vogue SE
