Can you make it switchable?
My Impreza has antilag but its on a switch so only on when I'm off on a good road (or a tunnel) and isn't bloody annoying wherever I go.
Is your car running a Maram shaft to cope with the extra heat?My Impreza has antilag but its on a switch so only on when I'm off on a good road (or a tunnel) and isn't bloody annoying wherever I go.

Dixiehorn, maybe go somewhere else to ask this.
This place is full of angry gammons.
I don't think anyone is angry. Just pnbs have been overdone to buggerey and this isn't 2010.This place is full of angry gammons.
it is also very likely the op won't get insurance, better wait a couple of years and get a v8.

Haha christ, this is going to end well.
Got to be a troll post? It is half term remember.
Based on OP's previous thread earlier in the year, chances are it's genuine.Got to be a troll post? It is half term remember.
Unlike this one started by a 1st poster earlier today about fitting their reg plates

To be fair I'm not wanting it to sound like a machine gun, just a burbling sound!
The map will probably have some overfuelling in it anyway, your presumably significantly less restrictive exhaust will be noisy (it's a turbo inline 4, it's sadly going to sound like hammered crap whatever you do) and when it's all been warmed up and thrashed and you lift off or down shift it may well release the odd little pop. That may be all you need to be satisfied 
My own pointless suggestion, just save up for a car with a proper engine in it

I know 1.6 3 cylinders that run over 370bhp. Think you need to try harder beautiful. (Also stickers count as stage tunes so you probably need to rethink what stage your cars at).

OP, buy a TVR, most of the miserable old gits on here won't moan about the pops and bangs that makes.
Haha, the natural odd pop from overrun on a big V8 is world's apart from a Rally car style pop 'n bang tune. The former is subtle, and a natural side effect of big V8s on a warm cam, the latter are really annoying to anyone who lives near, or is driven by, one. Danycee67 said:

Lool that's hilarious find a car with a proper engine in it? Cute last time I checked I'm running 370bhp stage 3 on my 1.8t 20v bam lol what you got rhnnjng darling?
VAG fans in general are a bit weird, BAM fans are just straight up freaks - on here quoting 'STAGE XXX REMAP' and a pointless BHP figure, well done for living up to the stereotype so accurately. BAM engines are cheap and unloved for a reason, only people that ever use them are those that care about going fast down the straights because they can't drive their way out of a paperbag through the corners and can't afford a good engine. Only exception I have ever seen to this was the Pinderwagen, 1 car on the whole internet ffs. andy43 said:

3 years! For that? 3 years!
Next one should be around May ‘24. Personally I can’t wait.
Or a banned returnee keeping his new account alive?
Or if we're generous - perhaps they've been a lurker and found something to comment on?
I considered this, so listened to some on YouTube, and was completely put off the idea. I little crack and pop every now and then is welcome, but when it's (fakely?) mapped in, it's just so over the top.
Unfortunately I went with a Cobra exhaust on my car which are s
te... never again! My previous Milltek without any map sounded so much better.
