Cool

Hi mate,

Just fitted one a couple of weeks ago and its really does enhance the flat-4 noise. Sounds great outside (no sound file though) and not too loud on the motorways either.

Check this link below for the afterburner in action:

I might come to the Herts meet, but not 100% sure if im free yet. Hopefully though
The up pipe decat made all the difference IMO to the noise, completely changed the tone and loudness of it.
