How loud are these cans!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had my carbon cans fitted, and the roof is coming of the car on the way home to get the maximum effect. They are fantastically loud. Reminds me of the XR2 Mk1 I had at 18 with the large bore PECO exhaust system I had!!!!!!!.

Now for a cr@p bit…

Kwick Fit… Went into my local and said I had a couple of exhaust cans could they please fit them, was told to see the manager. He just said, NO don’t do that, not even a look to see what needed happening just said NO. Complete numptie, and a complaint letter going off to head office recommending that this guy go on a customer care course…

So off I drive down the road, NEVER to buy anything from these people again.

AA. They are apart of Halfords building, so I walk in show then my membership and say, “I need a favour”. Explain the situation and they were so helpful, car was up on the ramps and 30 minutes later cans on and a free inspection of the car and pointed out a slight oil leak from the oil return pipe, which had also been pointed out by the TVR centre. Fantastic people. Well Done AA…

The guy was even good enough to copper grease the joints and clamps so I could switch to my original cans whenever I like.

Yep 5 min job and back to normality. Hey, I might even unbolt them when washing the car just to polish them
