Hi Lester, Good to meet you briefly this mornin Who did your exhaust?cos I,m thinking of having the straight through treatment on mine ,but dont know anyone to do it.Cheers Colin

Colin, nice to meet you too, i borrowed it on test from hilton and moss , stansted, who will sell it.
i am trying it the other way round tomorrow, if i choose not to keep the straight through i could tell them you are interested possibly?
how many times did you get lost today?

Sleeved IMO sounds a little too agricultural at idle for my liking. I bet it sounded fairly epic for TiTT though!

Clive F Decat Y, no precats and standard back box sounds really nice IMO.

will let you know soon martin.
couldnt hear my car today it was completely drowned out by a tuscan in front, absolutely amazing :-)
it sounded loud when i was on my own though
where were you today, if not on the titt

Hi Matt, Bearing in mind that mine is a 400,I only want to "tweak" it so it,s a bit more raunchy with a fair bit of throttle.500,s are already raunchier on idle so would a straight through on mine make it sound like a 500 ?Or am I talking out of my a**e. I dont really want to go the whole hog and basically re-new the whole system.Also if I do a straight through and dont like it I can change it back.

Hey Colin hope you are well.

The best thing you can do is either try of listen to others untill you find the right sound. As I said in the similar thread in the Griff section, exhuast sound is a very personal thing what is sound to one person is noise to another.

I went out with a number of people before deciding what to do with mine. My conclusions are in my post on this thread:

Doing some research is definitely a good shout, find the one you like a replicate it..... no nasty suppress then!

I am not sure if engine size makes too much difference. The Griff in the video is a 4.0 but is sounds very similar to my 5.0 with a similar system fitted.
