Hi all

A bit of sharing
I'd like to show you what I've done so far to my exhaust.
It's a bit of experiment but the result shocked even me because I don't think I've done that much and the sound it's much more than what I was expecting.
This supposed to be the stage 1 to see what I get, but it looks like I'm leaving it as it is for now.

This mod + supermarket carparks = moms and dads in complete confusion running with kids under one arm and prams in the other hand even if I'm 100-150 yards away

To do this I used well know guys for custom one off exhaust, any exhaust, from classic cars, choppers, sport cars etc.

Do you know AMD Tunning in Essex, BTCC team (VW Golf) ???, they use them when they need a one off system.
And they use 100000% highest grade stainless steel. They get a lot of customers who went for **** exhaust such as ''Powerflow'' ''Megaflow'' and all that crap, they all rust within weeks.

What I asked them to do it in first stage is to remove two small boxes (behind the cats) and middle silencer.
Total weight removed 15.8kg

and do this, two straight runs plus two new flex pipes (one of them I managed to damage slightly already)

I kept the original back boxes

....and not much to say now, just good speakers and that's it.
Not everyones cup of tea, but I like it, it's scary !!!!

The bit I like very much is the video 2 (warmed up) 1min10sec

(in the first clip camera is a bit to close and it can't cope fully with the level of sound)

Nice mod id like an actuated center box so I can turn it on and off lol

There is another option, but I've been told about last minute and didn't want to make rush decision.

Electronic valves with a switch inside the cabin.
Around 150quid each plus fitting, I would say up to 500quid in total if you do that in a good garage.

You fit them just before the back boxes in about 45 degree angle facing downwards.
No one say you cant fit them before the centre box or even behind the little single boxes.
When you hit the button, the electronic stainless steel flap cuts of the rest of the exhaust system completely and diverts all the gases down onto the tarmac, it's called Stealth mode

Let me draw that for you, it will be a funny drawing tho.

Guys, what do you think ???
I'd like some feedback as it isn't a typical low bass type of exhaust.
Sounds more like a classic american V8, but does it suite the car???

Everyone who heard it, standstill, launch or during acceleration says only good things and I like it as well, but I've got some doubts to be honest because of lack of bad feedback, sounds silly, but maybe people are just trying to be nice and some don't know what they are talking about ?!?!?

What do you honestly think??

Cheers
