Wish I still had my old A8 for the sound off
 It sounded immense, hopefully its new owner will come along for the sound off..

Have a great day everyone...
...Unfortunately, I will be passing the Northern contingent travelling on their way South on my way up to Burley-in-Wharfedale for my cousin's 40th...then back South Sunday for my wife's uncle's 70th (I know, I know...)
Can someone record the "sound-off" so I can make a decision on an exhaust? Very keen to hear the Milltek... Zip
