The video will totally depend on the speakers your listening to it through to be honest soooooooooooo i am only just south of you Ticki, i live in Hartlepool, i'd gladly meet you somewhere and take you for a spin if you wanted to know what it "actually sounds like"? Be good to meet a local enthusiast

When on idle it really is quiet...Infact sometimes i feel like i want it louder, any normaly person wouldnt notice it wasnt standard

thanks Chris that would be mint.

Well, well, got the car back tonight with a new Powerflow SS exhaust, 50mm bore, and im not convinced, more noise, and still less power than before my old exhaust got a big fooking hole in it.

Maybe it just a case of the ECU relearning the new parameters, and it will get better in time, especially the low end torque, and its still flat in the mid range. Fingers crossed

Your thoughts please!!!

Ah that sucks mate, I would do the same though. give the TB a good clean at the same time and wear it in a little, see how it feels after 100 miles or so
