x power back boxes

[Ajay]

I've a set of Zeros (modified Mk1's) on my 260 saloon. If you fancy setting up a mini-meet you check to see if their quiet enough for you

I'm on the posh side of the Thames from Reading

We could have a mini-meet at my place so you can hear my modyfied standard boxes.
Or talk to Will and meet up with him.

Well I would definitely be interested in buying them or swapping them for my powerflows... Though you will find most exhausts have that booming sound... I think my powerflows fall between the zeros and the xpowers and make it sound more like an american V8 where the xpowers sound like a racing V8?

Might help or not but here is a video of some of our cars in holland doing a drive by... the 1st and 3rd have xpowers (one is tubed and mine is the middle one on powerflows.

may be a meet in two weeks time then, ive enquired about powerflows at top gear in aylesbury, saw the lads over there to see if a centre box could be fitted, they said no way , no room. i thought the rover 75 v8 had a centre box or are the rear boxes baffled to hell. i wasnt convinced there boxes would make that much of a difference,one of the guys had a ford f150 pick up with a 5.7 chevy in it with just a side exit single box, and my god he could not believe it when my car demolished his on the sound of the exhaust

another option maybe to revert to standard quiet boxes and add the electronic trick exhaust valve that vents straight out at the touch of a button. Means chopping a small section out of the exhaust though so there's no going back (unless you also get a spare exhaust section)

If you mean 25/26 June, then I can do the Sunday only. Don't let me stop you if there's someone else with Zeros available, though.

So it is! Do the 260s have an 'area' for that? I'm thinking it might be quite hard to get all the cars in one place if not.

BTW I have unmodified Zeros, so they're a little boomy but I find it pretty easy to drive around; certainly doesn't bother me enough to take it all the way to Kent to have it fixed!

Maybe the Gbox is smaller on the 75V8 and there is more room for a centre box?
