Better sound, same performance

More noise, why?????? If you want more noise, punch a big hole in the muffler and then wait for EPA to bust you. And a snorkel will not affect power.

Do what all the"cool" people do and fit a muffler delete kit. Makes your ute sound like a tractor. And then wait for the defect.

I'm feeling old right now... :-)

Recently you have asked a wide range of questions and seem to be trying to keep up with the Jones's's's'.
Like other asked, Why more noise, all it will do is alarm kangaroos who then wish to jump in your path, Hardly sensible. Are you intending to travel with the drivers window down or up? that will govern how much noise you will hear too. All it will do is attract people in uniforms you don't want to meet. You can play an engine/exhaust noise on your sound system if needed. A snorkel is only of use if properly sealed and you wish to take your vehicle swimming with you, or you want to travel too close to others on dusty roads. Snorkel is an external airbrake which causes more drag. Very similar to the airbrake lights people have on the roof, a big wall of large area lights, madness. The exhaust tip, only impresses those who like to see nice clean shiny exhaust tips, can't see it while driving. It has no other purpose at all, a normal exhaust tail pipe is ok and the engine won't know what you have fitted and it doesn't care.

There are a wide range of beliefs and concepts held by the general population regarding vehicles and "essential modifications" and most is simply rubbish. Tread carefully before altering anything. You can spend hundreds of money, even thousands of money but nothing meaningful may be achieved.

Let me guess, Damian - You just love that bumper sticker that says, "If it's too loud, you're too old!" - and you've got plans to put one on as well? LOL

Noise is good - as long as you're the only one listening to it.

The simple problem is, contrary to what a lot of young blokes think, a lot of other people just don't want to hear your loud noise.
That's the simple reason for noise pollution laws - and their fairly regular enforcement.

Cheers, Ron.

A snorkel won't make any difference to the sound, you really need to go talk to an exhaust shop and see what they've got to say.
Some petrol engines will just never sound nice and chunky eg 80 series petrol landcruiser, not sure if the triton is in the same boat but an exhaust guy will tell you for sure.
Im not sure if you've been around this site much but its definatly the wrong place to ask such a question, strictly 50 year old and up fuddy duddy been there done that territory over here, lots of good info but they don't understand the young folk with long hair and earings ;-)

Think really hard.
What makes you think everybody within 3 blocks of you wants to hear your car?
Play a drag racing recording on your audio system, or make "Brooooom! Broooom!" noises as you drive. Consider fitting internal wipers in this case.

Hi Damian,

Know where your'e coming from buddy. I was young once too.

So ya want some EXTRA NOISE? No probs, I can help ya.
Don't muck with the Triton's tailpipe. Just plug a little gadget into the ciggie lighter.
Yep, take a look at this video. And turn up your volume control RIGHT UP.
On sale for $68.See here.
Or maybe a V10 or V12 here.
If it's just for your ears then beef up your vehicle's audio system.
If ya wanna impress the neighbourhood then put a 200W amp and a couple of horn speakers under the bonnet.
Sure to impress the drivers of cars with a chequered band around the body! LOL

I gave an F1 model to a friend in Singapore. Drove his mates mad in his little convertible !!!!

But don't expect any admiration on this forum.... we are all old fogeys here.

Check on the Triton forum and you will most likely find what exhaust replacement to do or have a chat to the local exhaust shop who can change out the muffler for one that has more of a note.
Chips will change performance but not the sound.

A snorkel is a great option if you intend on doing any water crossings, it will have no effect on your performance either way.

I go along with Michael h9’s comment . And at 58 , I would probably still get a bit of noise out of a v6 if I had one, had an MK v6 and it sounded pretty good! doesn’t have to be “loud”.
Come on you old farts!

Damien, ask some exhaust places for sure.
Cheers

I just want to hear the engine a bit and not your whiney opinions about it, bloody old farts!!! Lol no but fair point fair point

WOW, a simple question that seemingly has many getting up more of a lather then they could with a cake of Palmolive Gold...

Good luck with your quest Damian, I suspect that whatever you do it won’t be half as noisy as the sound of this clapped out bunch...

And long-live the straight through exhaust...!

Cheers, Baz - The Landy

Damian, sports exhausts are available for you vehicle, just do a google search or see your local exhaust shops they will sort it. The snorkel won't do anything for or against performance but it will help your aircleaner filter out with less dust.

Don't worry about the knockers here, they would even complain about the noise from kids playing.

Now if you really want a decent bit of noise put one of these in a 4b.

It isn't about being an Old Fart or indeed a young Thruster, it is about advising someone who obviously hasn't a clue and is subjected to peer group pressure or what their mates expect or perhaps what they think their mates accept. Most of us trying to advise against going down the path of, the young and foolish, who end up spending Mega $$$$$$$$$'s for NO tangible benefit. We were all young once but some had the sense not to indulge in the stupid thing people do. As many of the older ones say, "I was young once I understand", of course they were, goes without saying, but were they so idiotic? It is like accepting the now bad behavior of Shane Warne and tennis players because they were young at some time. How many second chances do they expect???

I doubt if Damian has rectified the RTT camper issue let alone the oil leaks , or the overheating, or the monitoring gauge issue or the suspension lift proposed. He has all on here replying to someone who just keeps inventing stuff but never reports on what he has decided or completed or the success he has had with any of it.
As a younger person I took ALL advice, weighed it up and then did what I decided to do. It is a far cheaper.

Damian, a while ago I had VL Commodore. I put headers on it, no muffler except the cat, and a fat exhaust. It sounded great to me, until firstly the neighbours started to hate me and then on the first interstate trip I too started to hate the incessant droning noise. So now quiet is good for me. I have genie headers and a big exhaust on my Landcruiser but also a very effective muffler. Good luck working out your own preferences.

2.5” exhaust with sports muffler, just tell the exhaust shop what kind of sound and how loud you want it and they should be able to help out. If you go bigger that 2.5” with a loud muffler it will likely drone at cruising speed.

How’s that eh? A response to the question asked not people giving their opinion on why you shouldn’t do it!!!

Doesn't take long, very effective.
