All I have to say is WooHoo!!!
The sound is awesome, not too loud but very supercar-esque.

The over-run is fantastic and it really makes the S6 sound the way it should have from the off.

Strangely it's also stopped thee boomy resonating in the cabin (Targa) I got with the standard box at low revs. If anyone os thinking of getting one then JUST DO IT!!!

PS - Does anyone know the db output at 3-4k rpm with a JP exhaust? I may want to put her on track and was wandering if this was possible or if I'd need to swap over to do so.

Great, I ordered one on Monday!! Can't wait now biggrin

On the noise front, I am sure I have seen it mentioned that someone registered 108db, even with the cats still in place! I could be wrong but I think you will need to swap back for the track, unless some silencers can be fitted. Does the JP have a rolled edge?

The end pipes are rolled.
I promise you'll love it, though fuel consumption is now an issue as I seemed to go everywhere this morning in 2nd & 3rd, lifting off for overrun at every opportunity....

Zippee - mine tested at <105db which was good for Brands Hatch and Snetterton. (JP with cats still fitted). I was concerned it was too loud so took it to the next MotorSport Vision track day at Brands Hatch, they were happy to noise test me before I made a booking.
