Default Have you ever heard your own car being driven???

I did earlier for the first time, while i was standing outside my house, my mate took it round the block and give it some beans.

I had no idea it was that loud.

He drove at least a mile and i could hear it all the time he was driving.

You won't be able to handle a black scoob mate, they are vastly superior to common ol' blue

To quote Wesley Snipes......"Always bet on Black"

Betts and I took our cars to a car park in Hullbridge, and we drove each others cars to hear how they sounded, just as we thought, they sound GREAT, though Betts easily drowns my car out!!

I hadn't heard my new exhaust from outside the car until one of my crew taped me at the local autocross. Hayward and Scott know how to make an exhaust
