Cheers to andy and the rest of the guys (and the guy from Wigan with the yellow Ro, didn't catch your name!).
Had the Sportpac fitted (set to loud in the end smile) and the difference is unbelievable isn't it! Sounds a lot sweeter and a lot more responsive on the throttle. Lots of popping too - brilliant stuff!

Rip shifter next.

It's good to let the V8 sound out. I had the full Wortec and headers and it sounded. Currently driving a fully muffled VXR8 and it's a shame. Enjoy!

Just getting a 1.1/78"/3" Difillipo system ordered, that should do the job!

Just getting a 1 7/8"/3" Di Filippo system ordered, that should do the job!
Once the Wortec headers and system sells I'll be looking for a system, Gareth. 3" system sounds like a good plan. Would be great if it was switchable too. Maybe I ask for too much. :-)

I was going to go with Quiet, then they pulled another car into the workshop that i knew was set to Loud.......and even on tickover it just sounded 'musclecar', so i had to go with that one. smile Plus, the weight of the blanking off plates that are used to set it to quiet probably knock a few tenths off the 0-60 time too! laugh
Yeah, the induction roar.....wasn't expecting that, but it's an added bonus!

Knew you would go with loud! Was the reduction in weight to justify it to yourself haha, it will save a bit of fuel too!

It was us at the fish today.

Glad you set it to loud, you know it was for the best. As soon as you said quiet I knew you would change your mind!

Good to meet you guys today although fleetingly, before we disappeared in the Vectra!

It should be switchable, with the right foot switch!
