Sounds like pretty good advice to me. Very easy to overdo to the exhaust note thing and confuse different with better.
You just cannot know how they are going to be like to live with until you have taken the plunge so can work out expensive.

I sometimes end up with a 100 mile drive home when I am tired (after a car meet, after work, or after a track day) and even the cats out, Clive Y, standard exhaust gets wearing when it's a constant velocity drone rather than up and down the gearbox.

I would also point out that the setup you have, with or without bolt on extra cans, will just squeeze under track day noise limits. Sleeved as well won't.

So before going everything out, just check with your inner hooligan as to whether you fancy doing track days. If you want a taster, get yourself over to Bedford Autodrome on 6th May and join a number of us Chim nutters for a session. Either pay up and take part - find the thread on the Chim pages - or come along, enjoy the craic, and have some passenger rides. We will all somehow be squeezing under 101 decibels for the day.
