With just the back box bud its not OTT to be honest.

It makes a huge change from the standard back. On tick over you can hear it burbling and chugging. When your driving in low revs (in traffic) it just burbles a tad louder and you will know its there but it will not shatter anyones ears to much.

It really doesn't sound to bad once your on the motorway. It peaks off so to speak.

Hope this short but sweet answer helps mate?

Cheers, sounds like the kind of thing im after. Is there anyway of sound deadening the car if decide to go with full decat, love the noise but after long trip can get bit annoying.

i find mine is great on short runs, but motoway driving gets a constant drone and gives me a headache (manchester to london). just to clarify, id say its about 5times louder than the standard exhaust, actually probably more..

Bin looking at the blitz nur spek too, what kind of sound does this give out with and without the removable baffle. Does the the baffle make alot of difference? Might go for this and have best of both.
