On a scale of 1-10 you would need to turn the page and make it about 15 and I'm not joking

I've not seen any on a new age but here are a couple of classic pictures for you.

This one is Simb 2's

How's that

I'm always surprised there aren't more people running Fujitsubo kit. I appreciate they're a bit pricey but they produce a pleasant sound rather than one that's anti-social.

Have a listen,

http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/mc-prod/

Maybe worth a look.

I found the magnex system on my old UK car to be a good compromise too FWIW.

I did look and it was the price that was the off putter- the power getter looks awesome

I dont want LOUD especially i want louder than the PPP i have now- louder rumble.

I also want good looks i love the look of angled exhausts where you can see the main backbox- the prodrive one is hidden really

Oh and pretty cheap

Oh and easy to fit

Oh and... no that's it!!

Am still torn between that and the Nur Spec. Would love to hear the H&S though before i buy it. Have already get a 3" midsection, just need to decide on a custom H&S or a full Blitz and ditch the mid-section i have already bought.

Living where I do It doesn't matter about upsettting the neighbours as there arn't many of um, I took the time to introduce myself to the few we have and I'd let them know it's quite loud.

It's not hard to drive on part throttle (Quite(ish) Mode)) until your it's warmed up and then all hell lets loose

It does come with a bung, but it's still miles louder than the full decat magnex system I had before
