Full noise 1UZ-FE - sounds sweet!

[uzz32pete]

I love V8's - I love this 1UZ-FE. At the track I always get asked what sort of motor, comments from strangers "mate that sounds great" etc etc.
One old guy at Phillip Island Circuit reckons my car is the 2nd best he's heard after a Ford GT40 with Gurney Weslake? heads etc .
So to share the joy here is a short 575 kB wmv video clip of my car taking a corner.
I like the rising rumble approach deep bass sound, the brief lift off and the full noise dissappear.
Enjoy!

Back then I had a race only exhaust - no cats and a custom 10 inch long x-pipe and an extra pair of resonators installed.
Now the cats and regular x-pipe are back on - with the same rear resonators and mufflers. I unbolt the middle section now and again.
No power difference - my twin cats are very large and don't reduce power noticeably at my power levels. The exhaust is quieter with cats - but tone is nearly the same.
