To be fair, standards a good way to go, maybe with a decat. Have you considered it, perhaps for peace in your street?  ________________________________________ Xsara VTS > 265BHP WRX > Company carRemember; only TWATS use text speak |

106Lad's is the loudest i've heard.All I remember of having a loud exhaust when I was younger was how damn annoying it was on the Motorway. Do you not find that? ________________________________________ Xsara VTS > 265BHP WRX > Company carRemember; only TWATS use text speak |

I had to drive an almera GTi with no bumpers, no tailgate, no lights/indicators, no interior (literally nothing bar the dash, wheel and gearno , a smashed in read passenger quarter where a motorbike had hit it and a broken rear axle mount on the same side making the car wobble like mad, sometimes settling into a sideways crab motion and sometimes straight...ish. I bought it to swap the running gear into another car and ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

yup. doesn't have to drive straight, over 30mph or even be comfortable as long as it sounds good and turns heads (albeit for all the wrong reasons). said car. notice the rear wheels. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

I've got a random backbox, LASER.....i thought they only did bike ones!It hums nicely on idle, and only kicks out some real noise when it's being caned......just how i like it, i can drive past a bunch of chav tossers and they'll not give me one look.....i could roar past and turn every head though with the Pipercross on full suck!! Funny actually, i thought after a few cars being stolen in the area, that mine would have been attemped within 4 months of owning it......so far not a sausage! The visible steering lock probably helps! ________________________________________ VW Golf GT TDI 115, 100k nooooooooooooooooooooo! |

Well I thought mine was loud. Ill have to check for any holes as it is 2nd hand from ebay lol. Im pretty sure its ok tho. But its a bit to loud for my liking. My G/F amd I have just had a little baby girl too and the baby aint very keen on the noise when she is in the car. ________________________________________ Phase 2, Diablo 6, Piper Exhaust, Pipercross Induction Kit, Black Team Dynamics Pro Race Wheels, Colour Coded Calipers,Next Bigger & Better Brakes, Lowering. |

Check to see if all of the joins between each part of the exhaust are completely together.I changed my cat recently, and its not exactly the same fit and has pulled the centre silencer too far to one side, so the join between cat and centre silencer isn't quite flush (next thing on the to do list!). This very slight gap has made it considerably louder, so maybe check for that.  ________________________________________ Black Rallye |
