YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!!

Just parted with a massive (NOT!) £140 to have the std HSV silencer boxes removed from my exhaust system - mainly for the noise factor - Unbefeckinleivable!!! Already sounded good but now sounds like an insane dog that just got let off it's chain - not sure of the right techo term but "goes better too"!! Had the job done by a mob (mob's name was Graham!) called Exhaust By Design tucked away in the tiny Buckinghamshire village of Tigewick - awesome job bending up some custom stainless to effectivley replace the entire mid section. Thanks again to Monkfish for steering me to EBD. So it makes some sense to the more technically informed - I had the standard HSV GTS(R)Coupe exhaust on mine plus pacemaker headers so now there is nothing but pipe after the cats except for a slightly wider section just before the tip (slight silencer tube me thinks?). Once again - dunno if it's my imagination but car seems to pick up 10-15% quicker between 2500-5000 RPM - maybe it's cos it's breathing better - I'm sure someone can explain for me! Won't have my baby too much longer - needless to say not gonna listen to too many CD's for the last couple of weeks - windows down, Mahatmacoat on! Cheers J.

wouldn't say it was "dramatic" but certainly noticeable. Was already full of smiles when ever I pressed the GO pedal but now I am actually in "dillema ville" when I have the keys in one hand & Sooze tappin me on the shoulder if u get my drift!

Noise is more noticeable in the cabin but not too much at all.

Very different "burble" when changing down & decellarating though.

I'm gonna go to Monkfish Thursday night so anyone with a mic?? I don't have the gear to do a proper record - I spose I could tape it with my moby??

Never touched the programming at all.. GTS Coupe is same Calllaway 300KW as UK GTS(R) and has a HSV standard mafless setup that's a bit diff to yr other models.. I had it explained to me once before (stax I understand) but it has some kind of progressive programming or sumfin??? Either way.. me press loud pedal, me happy!

It's stayin in the family though... Jace has bought it (Raggyman) so it's gone to a good Aussie home at least. Condition of sale is he takes me for a drive once a month!
