i didn't like it myself, silencers were small and didn't sit center, tailpipes came out at a funny angle and it was generally quite a quiet exhaust(for me anyway) :wink:


each to there own though :lol:

The silencers aren`t center and If you`ve got a de-cat down pipe fitted make sure you buy some ear plugs.

I liked mine, only reason I changed it was so I had a low sitting exhaust.

Sets car alarms off and sounds evil when you boot it :mrgreen:

it's Y shaped, but not symmetrical.

but unless you're level with or under the rear bumber, you can't tell.

my exhaust tips came out evenly...

it's relatively cheap, and after 3 years mine's still in really good condition.

It will set off sensitive alarms, especialy with a decat but I've heard noisier ones.

it sounds good at 5,000+ rev

but, is really boomy and drony on the motorway, especially at 3,000 revs (70mph)

At 4,000 revs there's a sweet spot however where it goes quiet

Quiet? :shock: :shock:

I test drove a tubby with a blueflame and I thought it made a bloody awful drone. Sounded good when giving it beans, but headache inducing for the rest of the time.

it's funny because quite a few people are saying that, maybe my exhaust was a dud, bought it new and i didn't think it was much noiseier than standard, bit boomier but that is all, unless i have hearing problems :-k , 8-[

It's probably more a case of I'm getting less tolerant in my old age [28]! :lol: :lol:
