Mondial Exhaust Modifications

I have not done it on my 91t...

 

I had the same with my Nouvalari Exhaust. No reference sound to be found before the purchase Although I heard the extreme sport sound from someone here on a 308. To loud in my opinion.

Interesting sound but not a better sound. Would like to have heard it at 7,000 rpm. Good running car though. My 3.2 can be recognized in much of the entire county at 6,500 rpm which is my now pretend redline.

At least that is what the neighbors tell me without complaint. Not exactly hugely LOUD just hugely noticeable.

 

Agreed. No offense to Larini, Tubi etc... But Mondials seem plenty loud enough. Like the looks of the stainless exhaust, but not enough to spend$$. A cat bypass will make it louder too.

 

Hi all,
Mondial 8, US version here

Have been looking at these:

need to say US exhaust are different and taking of the cat would make already a difference. In europe we don't carry cats and have a very different silent muffler. Makes it wonder if you are not driving an electric Mondi

This is sound with windows closed

another question on the exhaust matter.
Anybody experience with wrapping the headers? I noticed my engine compartiment got really hot.

There is no harm in experimenting with various exhaust systems. I have done it many time on Detroit Iron. But its almost all esthetics; nothing much gained in power. And so if you like the sound then that is a good thing.

My mechanic is now fabricating a twin two inch exhaust for a 1988 Lincoln Mark VII LSC with 7psi supercharger. He did it once before and the sound was the best Yankee Detroit Iron V8 sound I ever heard. He seems to think it makes a power difference. He is experienced in such matters and should know.

I am sceptical. But I also like esthetics. And this from me, a guy who spent $1,000 to quiet DOWN the last such vehicle I owned. I remain curious. He likes working on my Ferrari since it amuses him. I suspect he would like to buy it from me as he did my last Lincoln. I think we are in a friendly contest in this matter.

I guess all this is a good thing.

 

Ordered them last month, today they arrived
Now really need to get back to work

Very neat! I will for sure notice some difference in soumd and pickup power.

 

Very neat! I will for sure notice some difference in soumd and pickup power. How about MOT (jaarlijkse keuring) in Belgium? Can you leave them on?

 

The car is MOT'ed as oldtimer. So, I only had to pass MOT once( very basic one for oldtimer) : when I put the car on plates, annually I pay 39 euro taxes. That's it. So, no need to give in the plates when not on the road while working on her, otherwise I need to pass MOTagain to re register the car.
Insurance, because the wife doesn't know how to drive, I'm the sole chauffeur here, so I can only drive 1 at a time, supplement of 100 euro on my DD insurance.

Listened a couple of time to your recording and to my dead ears it souds WAY different then my '86. Actually sort of refined. I wonder if I can get Euro System for my car! Ms. Prugna Metallica sounds absolutely ferocious in the open air. Never mind what panic might be instigated in a tunnel.

But I am still trying to start a rumor the purple ones are faster I am thinking of getting a dash cam for my favorite drive and maybe I will think a bit harder about it now.

This is how my Mondial 3.2 Sounds with Tubistyle exhaust, really loud but very addictive!

 

I have a Nouvalari as well under my 3.4t (1990) The sound is nicer (my opinion) than the standard factory exhaust, it is not too much, it makes more music but not over the top. Next video at 0:59h you can listen to the music ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDD74hpDUlA

 

and also at 3:56h I have just noticed ;-)

 

There is no smog test in Indiana so I plan to replace my cats with straight pipes when the major is done later this month.
It should make a difference and I'll post the results.
Cheers,
Greg
