Rover Meteor 27 litre V12 tank engine startup

[freqeist]

is the origin of this a Merlin?

@freqeist This is a Merlin, without the Supercharger.

sounds really well...recon some times been spent getting the engine looking and sounding like that

[scottryan2009]

Would sound MUCH better without that poxy muffler!!!!

[NesteHukka2]

@scottryan2009 The sound is absolutely perfect!! Straight pipes sound irritating! Straight mufflers take those sharp ear piercing high frequency sounds away. If all Harley Davidson drivers would try it, yearly inspection for motorcycles would propably not be one of planned laws in our (finns) parlament.

I think the mufflers are a bit redundant.

[MrNik1001]

@BigAdam2050 nah, man, if those mufflers werent there there'd be plumes of smoke coming out (assuming it's diesel?)

@MrNik1001 Petrol, similar to a spitfire engine, but without the supercharger I prosume.

[TheWierdFish]

@EnigmaNZ1 Yes.

[TheWierdFish]

@MrNik1001 Petrol.
