Rate then. Got 2 packages yesterday. Was thinking that they would be Resistors and Vacuum Hose. Nope.

One package was resistors, the other was detailing brushes. Got a package today, was some Heat Shrink and Silicone Spray :D. So still waiting on the hosing for the N112 bypass.

also booked car in for custom exhaust 2moz :D

Yep they did do mine too.

What you going for then?

Turbo or cat back? Any silencers? This in hope of a few extra horses to attempt to beat me down the strip?

Guest
Ha ha, nothing to do with the strip, but may come in handy.

Goin Cat Back for now, with the option of DP/Decat as and when ;)

Nice. Im guessing your going to have some sort of silencer in there?

Think i may book mine in for straight turbo back next month. Will wait and see.

Rate then, had the exhaust fitted. Was done at Custom Pipes up in Donny (thanks to T. Spark for the heads up)....

So then, here we are:

Sounds quite nice. Rattles a bit at 1,500rpm and also when you let off accelerator it rattles at about 3,000rpm. May take it back when I get time. So far I'm happy though.

BTW, It's just Cat Back for now ;)

Just got in from a nice drive.

Not long into the drive, I changed from 2nd to 3rd and heard a loud pop. Thought something had broke or something, but everything appears ok.

Anyway, I heard it twice since. Both times changing from 1st to 2nd. Once from a junction, another after setting off letting a car by. Don't know how I got it to make a loud pop, but I'm sure I'll figure it out :D

Mine pops too, got a really loud one the other day, it echoed off all the houses too! (i wasn't even giving it some!)

Not as loud as mine. Thought this was too loud at first, but on normal cruising it's ok. Give it some, and boy do you know about it lol..........

I know I said yours sounded better than mine at the Derby meet. Not any more :harhar:
