NVH - curing the boom
If there has been a comment I have heard a few times from owners or passengers in a 260, it's the boom the car creates at around 50 - 60. The last time I was in one it had the XPower pipes on and it did give quite a medium level noise that was a bit intrusive really. I seem to remember that Project Drive removed quite a bit of sound deadening although I'm not sure if that applied to the ZT in some respects.
Anyway, has anyone tried to tackle this and had any success in reducing it without harming the soundtrack from the engine? And at a slight tangent, now that many owners have models with a few miles on the clock, have there been any other NVH issues that have surfaced? |

Apart from more noise Pete I would like to know what X-Powers intentions were in designing those back boxes as when we had gerrants 260 on rollers last week it only made 240BHP with the pipes fitted!

That was a corrected figure so is supposed to represent engine power mine came out at 171BHP with Torque tailing off at 4500RPM
possibly a bit over corrected TI-Riches Diesel made good numbers though |

I've read something about axle tramp??? Whatever that is on another website about the V8 ZT/75 I don't know if it's relavent to this thread or even useful but nonetheless quite interesting, I'll copy it and paste it if I don't get hit, moderators?

I have Zero Quads on now and they are about half way between the two and produce a lovely rumble sound. http://www.two-sixties.com/media/newpipes.mp3 http://www.two-sixties.com/media/new_zero_revving.mp3

Tim your car is unbelievably clean underneath how on earth do you manage that or has it never been out in the wet
Do you have a pit or a ramp to work from? |

Been out in the wet. Womble made me go out the other week in it. I was the same with my motorbikes had to be clean. No ramp or pit just lay flat and suck the belly in.
