cheers for reply dude,
no worry as such, its just that ive only just got the car from the dealer, and it only has a 3 month warranty, and if soemthing if wrong id want it done before warranty runs out, its been to vw last week for dodgy running, then cleaned the throttle body and fitted new coil, i would of thought that if there was something wrong, they would of noticed it, so in one sense im not too worried, just curious as to if its normal as it is quite loud at first, then as i say after 20 seconds or so its fine, quiet as a mouse, and the exhaust is standard, know what you mean though i had a magnex on my astra turbo and that was louder due to the turbo.
