Andover Spotted - no Sound!
Discussion
IMHO when we started a stock VXR8 at a car showroom last year it didn't even sound like a V8. It was so mute. To me it is essential to upgrade the exhaust.
I am aware that Stig will be along in a bit talking of how nice it is to actually hear the engine instead of the exhaust, however he's just trying to convince himself and i'm not buying it
Yes Roger they are really that quiet

toooooooo quiet standard thats why picked mine up and on way home dropped into walkinshaw for exhaust, sounds just right now
thought you had, was guessing I saw you on Thames Down drive last Friday (think it was Friday) and noticed the walkinshaw system. Outside its quite, but I sit inside the car and stock sounds fantastic in the cabin. No drone and a lovely noise under throttle. stigmundfreud said:

I have no problem with them in standard trim. I might even put ours back to stock.
what system do you have on at the minute?Have had it for a year now and thoroughly enjoy it. Have kept it in perfect condition as it deserves.
Personal circumstances mean I kinda need to go back to something cheap and boring for a while.
BTW, overtook you once on the A34 last year and gave a thumbs-up but then realised I was driving my wife's car and felt a right idiot.

Mine is still on standard pipes. In some ways it is a shame not to have a better exhaust note but then again it's practical as I can use the phone and hear the radio, even without RDS, plus it's in keeping with its wolf in sheep's coat profile. It is also an expensive mod and for an everyday car I'm not sure that I could really justify the expense, not least because fuel costs are killing me! Sad I know, but there you go.

I cant imagine the backboxes you got would really do much for noise either
