Cheers guys,

was gonna say, when at around 4.5-8.2k revs, it actually sounds like a rally car/superbike, its unebeleivable really.

And it does have a little burble on tick over, but its really unique sound, just wanted to see how it compares to others!

As to that video, mine is a lot high pitched than that. I will have to get a clip up!

I'm thinking of the EQ headers too, not that fussed what it sounds like so long as theres a noticeable power increase.

SO WHAT ARE WE SAYING? IF YOU WANT TO KEEP THE BURBLE WHATS BETTER..EQUAL OR UNEQUAL? AND WHICH GIVES THE BETTER PERFORMANCE?

If you want the sound, keep the unequal length ones.

If you want better performance go for the equal length headers, this allows for much better equal gas flow from the engine. A reason why Ferrari exhaust manifold pipes are all the same length.

Bullitt take the shrink-wrap off your turbo and stop driving like a fairy before you go for power increases
