Thanks to Manu & Ajay again for another extremely happy customer !

My 550 now has no silencing from the cats back and the transformation is beyond belief. I can't even begin to describe what she sounds like now.

Best moments so far are :-

1. Starting her after filling up with petrol and watching the women at the pump behind nearly jump out of her skin

2. Coming back through the Hatfield Tunnel on my way home. I used to think my 355 sounded good through it but this is unbelievable

PS. Kev if you are around this weekend fancy having a listen ?

Enjoy!


Its very loud. The stereo system which was adequate before is now next to useless ! The best thing is that if you blip the throttle on down changes its now possible to hear it. It has attracted a few more lunatics trying to race me but I just back off and let them get on with their 10 seconds of glory,

I actually think through tunnels or streets with buildings both sides its louder than a 355. I think the deepness of the note reverberates more Once you give it some right foot it screams like a 355, a lower tone but still a scream.

Its already cracking and popping on overrun and down changes so once its run in I dread to think. Manu promised me the potential of flames - I believe him

Aha! So the deed is done- marvellous and I CAN'T WAIT to hear it. I would have liked to have been there- a lot. Sorry I didn't get in touch this weekend Frostie-been in Colorado on business and only just got back. You up for a drink sometime soon?

Manu- any chance of uploading something on your site?



Kev - would be good to meet up for a pint. I'll mail you offline.
