Just got the car back together after doing the clutch, had lots of complications on the way, one of them finding a melted cat (not the furry type) I have fitted some rather lovely looking decat pipes but it's a little on the loud side, trying to decide if I like it or not, the big kid side of me does but I don't think I'll be popular with the neighbours when I head out at 5am hehe

We took it for a swift test run, which obviously had to involve the Blackwall Tunnel.

Yeah I think it might be a little too loud for everyday use but the pops and bangs are worth it lol

Paul, its too early to decide matey. Persevere for a couple of weeks then make your mind up. When I first fitted mine I got a fellow PHer to give me his opinion on the volume. He said he liked it so I kept the CCC's on. You will learn how to drive it a little quieter when you need to. I use mine a lot so got used to it very quickly. Cruising on the motorway isn't a problem, me and the wife can still hold a conversation without shouting.

I'm having to run mine with standard cans at the moment as one of my CCC's fell off and got squashed on the motorway. Its too quiet, so I'm going to sleeve the standard cans this weekend and see what difference it makes. I'll let you know.

My ears have only just stopped bleeding after listening to your exhaust last week (I know it was in demo mode, but it did make my ears hurt and almost woke up Daftdog hehehehe )

I've just tried the standard rear cans and they are too quiet but the exhaust has much more of a bass note to it now. Think I'll leave them on for a while though as don't want the neighbours kicking up a fuss.
