Will have a look at Mark's next time I see him... Who's it loudest of yours and his Podie? I want it to sound good, but not too loud as to have problems on track days.

Saying that, just spoken to Paul at Austec and he's said my suspension is a bit soggy, so I think that'll be the first thing to sort out before the trackday season begins.

Dunno... really should find out how loud mine is... certainly not in the same league as Psychobert's though..

Can't make it I'm afraid But I'll drop in in the Tiv so if we get the chance to catch up soon we can do the business.

Editted to say, sound meter is now in the Tiv if anyone wants to play with it at the Surrey Run or Southampton meet.

It looks like I can't make the Feb VW meet, but maybe I'll get a chance to have another listen at the next one after that.

Apparently it's a "must have" if you've got a tasty exhaust!

Good for countering withdrawal symptoms when you're stuck at work etc.
