I have a fulk decat larini on an SC which is a shed load louder than a back box only which you're welcome to listen to. And dont bother getting an NA remapped :)

I'm in sunny Saltburn bud. Where are you?

 

Seriously, save your money for the SC it's utterly pointless. Or spend it on better suspension / wheels / tyres etc.

Sweet,I live in Durham so not too far. Yeah I think your right, just save for sc. Be good to see just how fast it is in comparison. Did you upgrade your breaks when you sc'd it?

I upgraded my pads and fluid and fitted an ABS cut of switch when it was NA. But that's cos I track it.

I'm in South Shields and have a custom stainless Powerflow back box on my VXT. Less than half the price of either and sounds identical. Oh, and it's got a lifetime guarantee.

I'm in Durham but don't have any of them, mines a custom one by Dave Hardwick. I know Acidpopstars car well, having rebuilt it. It is very loud !!!

I also spend half my time down his way, and would need me to drive his car to let you have a listen, seen as he's unable to drive it at the min.

Where did you get that fitted?? I have abit of an issue with my current standard exhaust, in that its makes a spluttering/clicking sound. So its either got a crack in the manifold or the gaskets gone. Soooooooo I may need a new manifold and want a 200cell decat and the silencer. Basically need someone to diagnose the problem first then buy what ever parts needed

Where abouts is Dave Hardwick based? Around us? Just looked on his page, pretty cool stuff.
