tiny bit louder, not a great deal though. it does change the noise a bit and sounds strange on cold start on an AUM with the SAI running.

Main reason I fitted mine was for ground clearance, I was forever smashing my centre box on things and the tdi centre section cured that totally.

No vids mate, car is long gone I'm afraid. was stage 1 AUM with 224bhp, 3'' downpipe, tdi centre section onto std back box.  Made quite a cool sound to be honest, almost like a ripping noise like the focus RS when on boost!
