Probably hasn't heard yours since the decat, but don't take it as an insult. From memory, yours has an urgent bark - very racecar-esque, whereas MrCV8's is more of a bellow. Different sounds, and so which is best is very subjective.
Urgent bark eh? I like the sound of that! (like the description too) any sound clips per chance?StuRo said:

also to ad not only is the car lovely he's one of the nicest blokes we've met on a meet, a properly sorted car and owner (as you all are!)
I really like his motor, and would also rank it as the best - but James's is a different sort of sound, and more like a race engine in the urgency of the sound.You can hear James's on the limiter here, when he'swarming his tyres. Not the best sound clip, but you get the idea

Banana-who? 
I've not been fortunate enough to have met any of you forum chaps yet... are there a few people from up north going? (and by 'up north' I of course mean South Yorkshire upwards! 
Although, I would actually be curious to see if this droney cat-back i've had fitted has changed my output (could be for better or worse!)

anyone wanting a decent sound needs to copy whatever Mr CV8 has on his set up, it is by far and away the best ever sounding monaro or vxr8
Bit of a sweeping statement Heard the exhaust note from the all the cars on the forum have you.....

I've been in and around monaro's and vxr8's for longer than most and heard nearly every combination, some are drastically and crudely too loud, others a bit too reserved or Mr CV8's is just right. Categorically just right but its just one listeners opinion which a few others also share doesn't mean we're right. But when my mrs says its the best she's heard, well, who are we to argue?!
never argue with the wife!stigmundfreud said:
