My god, what a glorious noise....been fiddling...
Discussion
Well, today numbnuts and I decided to take the standard exhaust from the chim, and replace it with a normal looking system, but with the box opened up, and all silencing removed.
By god, what a difference, I was slightly worried it may sound harsh and tinny, but not at all, it really sounds like a powerboat at idle, and when opened up absolutely howls. It sounds better than my old 390se wedge, and that's saying something, bloody marvellous.
I daresay if anyone here in the southwest wants 'the treatment' Dave (numbnuts) and I can probably sort it for a modest fee
Fabulous noise.

been thinking that myself, I'll figure a way....Mike,
Is removing the lagging without sleeving the tubes a good way ahead then? I read somewhere on here it can be very tinny and metallic sounding. I'd like a bit more noise, but I'd like to keep it trackable if poss.
Whereabouts in the sunny South West are you? (Plans are being hatched....)

It's not too metallic for my ears, bassy enough for me
Sunny bristol, well, Bradley Stoke to be precise, not too far away from the almondsbury M4/M5 interchange.
Most welcome to come on up for a chinwag / tea / have a listen....

Golf club? well yes, Filton actually
Youre playing into the hands of the griff brigade with all this golf talk 
Mike, glad youve got the noise you wanted as we all seemed to have different suggestions on how it could be achieved.
Like the powerboat at idle analogy. I had exactly the same thought after mine had been done
