Looks like my original post has disappeared, so here's the pics again -
Turbosmart Supersonic dump valve
And finally, some Sparco pedals fitted -
Lets see if that works!
Cheers to TSL for top-class work as per usual (Paul, will be in touch about your suggestion!
)

Let's just say it's perfect for scaring little ol' grannies from about a mile away!!.........MUHAHAHA!
If the word 'obnoxious' could be applied to a dump valve then this is the one it would be!

I had a Firestorm and all I can say is that every day I drove it it was great the noise was out of this world and had to get my flat mate to do some fly bys on me just so I could hear it from the outside. One problem the girlfriend was not so happy that she was driving around in something as loud as concorde, and I think I started going deaf!!
Enjoy it they are the nuts.........

My Firestorm is attached to TSL's Group A downpipe and centre section so no cats (just like my previous Mongoose system) - everytime I start the engine I just snigger andgrin (and I'm sure horns are beginning to sprout fromm my head!MUHAHAHA!)

Had my Firestorm fitted for about 3 months, but fitted the TSL d/pipe and centre on thursday....
it's loud !
I love it....missus hates it...and the dog refuses to get in the back now!
Only thing is, i've got a wagon...so it's a tad loud inside !

Here's my own MP3 of my 'storm:
http://www.drexel.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Firestorm.mp3
It actually sounds less 'raspy' in real life than in that clip.

Our results was full decat blitz - 118db (that was mine)
Full decat firestorm was 113db

i'm considering the firestorm instead of my rather, already sounding good bb, but was wanting to know what it sounded like. i tried your mp3 sound thingy but it didn't give me any sounds out
any ideas? if you can, can you post it back up for us or something?
cheers

The soundfile works fine if you right click - save as. Then open it when you've saved it. Works fine, I just tested it. If you still have problems let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.
