@@radimzoot I have this car. I get around 25-30 mpg driving normally. Once got over 40 without trying. It's not a very economical car, but it's worth it just for the gorgeous sound the engine makes. No stereo required.
to be quite honest, it wasn't OVERLY droney, I tried putting the exhaust actually so it sticks out the back of the car rather than having is just past the rear axel and to be honest, having it poking out the back made it even worse haha
@@stretchmyjerky is there any way of removing the muffler via bolts (basically no permanent cuts or fabrication) just to try drive the car and make an opinion for daily use? Just so if its too loud I can put the muffler back on
@@haroonzabair1180 not as far as i know. I cut it just after the rear axel. As far as i remember, if you want to remove just the muffler with no cutting required, I'm pretty sure it's just going to dumping around the middle of the car just after the resonator just under the front seats which i think will be unbearable
Sadly, this car is no more. It was involved in an accident (Not my fault) Another road user was on my side of the road someone towards me and it was head on. I miss this car :(
[SMJ]StretchMyJerky so sorry to hear:-( the problem is they mean a lot to us but because they are not worth a great deal when in a accident they tent to be right offs such a shame as it sounded beautiful but I’m sure you got ur self another nice motor cheers for your reply mate
@@Positiveminds511 Well, I got more money back from the insurance from the car than what i paid for it :D I currently have a 2004 VW Passat 1.9 TDi PD130 remapped to 180hp and 380nm torque so it's not too bad. Just miss the sound of the golf D: To be honest though, with the severity of the crash. Me, my girlfriend and her Daughter actually came out extremely well. My gf's dad said we were very luck to come out as we did. If you would like to see the crash, I have now made the video public...
Passats are still very decent cars I like the gearboxes in them very smooth, I’m glad to hear that you and your family got out ok which is the main thing as cars can be replaced but humans can’t, it would be interesting to see the video of the accident with out sounding weird !! I appreciate your time spent on your reply’s thanks.

If your worried about fuel consumption in this car buy yourself a bicycle you don’t buy a v5 for the fuel mileage you buy it for the noise
Film her on a good open road not with those sh*tty speed bumps!!
If you read the previous comments, you will see that she is no longer with us sadly :(
I used to have one of these. The engine sounded amazing.
Would you recommend one to buy it?
@@calamityyy Only if you find a very good one, they are old cars now and the likelyhood of finding one in good enough condition is very slim.
Just bought a V5 myself and come across this (Also from Corby) 😂
hi, did you take out the center box too? i was thinking of straight piping from the cat but not sure if it will be too loud
No, all I did was cut the rear muffler off
That's loud as feck for just the back box removed
mine sounds exactly like that :oo
Mine "DID" sound like that but sadly it is no longer with us :(
was this used as a daily driver? is it bearable on highway? thinking about doing this but don't want to get headaches on long drives
to be quite honest, it wasn't OVERLY droney, I tried putting the exhaust actually so it sticks out the back of the car rather than having is just past the rear axel and to be honest, having it poking out the back made it even worse haha
I'm not saying it doesn't drone, because it did a fair bit
@@stretchmyjerky haha, ill see if i can take the muffler off without cutting anything so I can put it back on if it gets too much.

Great video, I have a v5 too love the sound of the engine but really want it to sound like yours
