Also been there with the Race Tube, mine lasted about a day, took it off the next day and sold it.
True the burble is mega loud, but to me it wasnt a nice tone atall, just sounded like there was a hole in the exhaust.

Whats the rest of your system like i.e. and resonators or cats in there?
Prodrive cat on mine that was it, maybe why it was so loud.

All the best with it anyway

A guy came round mine yesterday so I could have a look at a few problems for him, his car had a Nur Spec on.
Gotta say, they are too loud. Nice burble but I could never live with that volume, I'd feel a right tit driving around with all that noise. The race tube is even louder I believe...
