I use mine mostly for long trips, hence the standard exhaust. It is loud enough for me.

Any chance you could take a video of your car ticking over, blipping the throttle or a drive by if possible?

I have the power pipes and am very tempted to go for the decats and the power decat chip, but I'm a little concerned it will be too loud.

Cheers, as it happens I've already watched those videos many times before. biggrin

I'm in the Lake District.

Suppose the real test would be to experience the inside noise at cruising speeds.
Either that or i just bite the bullet and go for it.

thanks though

Denia, Costa Blanca, to Montpellier and back. Bit warm at times, but Sag bliss to drive. Same on drive down from Newcastle to Costa Blanca via Bayonne/Pamplona/Zaragosa/Valencia: main roads brilliant, any roads in town had to treat with care.

S6 engines rock, heading to 50K.

There are a few Tiv's here. All Cerbera's and S6 cars are personal imports. I brought my T350 when I emigrated in 2005. It was possible to buy them new in Oz until the mid 90's. Is your cousin racing V8's? I don't know much about that series except that they were trying hard at the GP a couple of years back, quite entertaining.

I suspect most PHers will have heard of him.

My girlfriend had a 318i a few years back. The plate was Pnnn TWR. A mate and I saw it and said "that wil be easy to remember", of course she had no idea.
