Now this is a very childish thing to do I know, but to hell with it, I did it anyway

My Atom does tend to draw some attention when I'm parked up and quite often I'm asked to start it up so they can marvel at the exhaust note. Well, to be honest, it was qite feeble, just like a Honda Civic Type R really!!

So, my childish quest for a nice sounding exhaust note together with an improved visual impact, I ambled on down to Pro-Speed Exhausts in City Road. Arriving at 9am and leaving at 5, yup, it took Charlie all day. here's the visual result.





Sounds lovely too

It sounds great and Charlie did a great job and some wonderful stainless welding - work of art and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

It looks a bugger to clean.

Funny you should say that!

Charlie recognised the cleaning problem and the stainles shield with holes in is just clipped on, easily removed for cleaning.

I've been through a few tunnels, it's the only place I get to hear it really. With a helmet on and the induction blasting away in my left ear!

My neighbour did make a point of telling me they now hear me leave in the mornings

Big kid or what?

Me too Steve nothing like it.Is the outlet just above the frame or are you constantly cleaning the frame and if so is starting to discolour???ALso I had a look at the original and it does look greatly improved,welldone.
