for anyone following my comments about my test drive then the exhaust mod might swing it for me! After all, some of the 'rawness' that I mention regarding things like the TVR are down the noise alone. If a Vantage can sound good without having to 'gun' it then I'm getting tempted again....

IF the exhaust mod frees up 15% of power, it will ONLY be below 4k revs as the valves are open at this point anyway

Plus, does everybody know that it is illegal to change the valves because of the noise limits ?

Lol.....

Best to point out the legality of the situation, which hopefully the dealers have been doing before advising of the mod !!!
