Re: Cabby TECH 8V build] Wife wants a very quiet topless bunny...:-(



I remember when my 16v was new and stock to the bone.....get on it and those
valves started to sing by design.
I never thought of it as being "loud" altho people would comment that it
could be heard before it was ever seen.
I think it is a very distinctive sound.....loud or not, it is SWEET.
