The main one is the burble will be missing as it should be twin scroll.

Just make sure when you give it some beans it goes into all the gears without crunching and has been mapped for uk fuel with proof along with all the usual checks for knocking suspension, subframe rust, no funny engine sounds or smoke and make sure you hear it from cold.

You do get a very slight burble but not like you do with un-equal headers (twin scroll are equal length) do sound nice on full chat though, akin to a super bike.

You tube / google is your friend.
