Sounds pretty good I think. Quieter than mine, mine is more of a deep burble at idle.
I've dug some video content out from back when it was fitted, in February 2006!!

To be totally honest, mine sounds good on a run like motorways. Its not enough to get you feeling uncomfortable.
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

that sounds really decent. Is it just the backbox?

If your on about mine Tim, nope its a cat back system. Cant remember the bore of the thtough pipe but its larger than standard to allow better flow.
