Lol Ben,

It may be a 'blue' latex suit....to go with those nice wheels :P

Exhaust looks very nice mate, didnt realise the car had 2 cats in it.

Looking forward to hearing the noise and seeing the flames !!!

Yeah - it is weird but they needed two cats to pass the emissions in switzerland or some other "green" country so put them into all cars !!

Decat will open the breathing up somewhat and reduce back pressure and let it breath higher up the rev range. Flames would be interesting too :)

This will still be quiet though compared to most after market scooby exhausts and will still get me through any noise test at a circuit :D

Yeah thats cool mate,

I have been looking at new exhausts and downloading some sound clips and doing lots of reading. The Blitz one I was after someone posted is 115db !!! Too loud me thinks lol

Its important to get something with a bit of grunt but not too much to make your ears bleed !!!

After putting the cat back in mine the car is quieter :(

115Db is way too loud and precludes good relationships withe neighbours if you ever have to leave the house early :D

I am often out early at the weekends (not during the week) and would upset a few of the people here if i had those levels plus it would give me a headache on motorway runs.

There is a balance IMO - loud isnt always good :)

Its coming down to Mocom with me on Tuesday - fitting it there along with spa dual gauges for Oil Temp/Oil Pressure and Boost/Air Charge Temp and trying to hook these up to give a temp controlled IC waterspray.

New colder iridium 7 plugs will go in to and an oil change and then will be adjusting mapping to suit..... all in all a bleeding long day i suspect.
