    Has anyone here gone from Zeros to X-Powers? How much noise difference is there? I like my Zeros but they're a bit too shy and retiring, I now feel....

    As I mentioned in the comments I was driving with the tailgate (not the boot) open to enhance the sound effects.

    but they are pretty noisy with everything closed too.

    I used the car for a long journey last w/e with my wife, and her aunt and uncle (sitting at the back). They were impressed.

    However, the noise did make conversation difficult at times during the drive. Cruising at 75 mph they were all right though.

    Of course if you often go for long drives or have passengers they are not ideal. But for the driver's pleasure they are a hoot.

    Sitting on the motorway at 70mph there is very little to tell them apart. However you will be aware of them as soon as the throttle is depressed.

    I did and have no regrets, cabin noise is similar regarding the resonance certainly no more than zeros, you do get that lovely burble which the zeros lack, when you floor it its certainly more rorty than the zeros , afterall ita a BIG V8 so why not sound like one

    I agree having fitted the X-powers and driven in some varying road coditions I think I can live with them no problem. I hope you can find some, check out these and add any comments to the link below
