That sounds fantastic Ste, my car sounds OK at the moment, but it's a bit quiet for my liking.

With all that power you kind of want it to sound a bit more mean don't you? :)

Video doesn't really do it justice IMO partly because it's in standard def and also it just doesn't pick it all up.
But it's strange it sound awesome outside without being really loud inside with the windows closed  :huh:

But will see I may end up getting rid of the centre box  :rolleyes:  :evil:

Yeah power isn't just about speed the sound also counts  :grin:

exactly!

I have 300bhp, and what sounds like a vacuum cleaner on steroids.

A mate of mine has 240bhp in a volvo T4 track car. His car is nowhere near as quick as mine, but the noise it makes with a full 3'' turbo back system makes me jealous every single time we go for a drive! Even though I can leave him no trouble.

Odd isn't it?

I won't be removing the middle box though, I need it to remain under 100dba for trackdays, but I do have a plan to add a 3rd silencer onto the back mounted horizontally if needs be for trackdays.

How long did yours take to arrive Ste?

Not that I've got an engine in the car at the moment anyway, just keen to get it in my hands :)

And then I can sell my milltek too!

TBH I was expecting it to sound a lot louder than that. The wife and kids will be pleased lol

Just bought some Mikalor clamps, first job after fitting will be getting a downturn tailpipe made before the fumes kill me  :grin: :wink:
