it was not about the power increase really, i wanted to know how much louder a straight through mid section made the car.

I have just had the Blitz Nur Spec R fitted, this has a mid section which seemed a lot bigger in diameter than the standard when it was taken off. Not a tech no so not sure if cat removed, perhaps some will know.

I had an afterburner which was a nice sound, but the blitz does it for me, it also pops and bangs a lot more. My son followed me the other day and said it was throwing flames out the back. :lol:

I drove home last night at about 1.00am, when the car started up it was loud oputside until the revs dropped, driving home at a nice pace in 5th and 6th sppeds 40 ish no real sound in the cabin. However when opening it up, the louder the better fro me, windows down, rain coming in etc 8)

Boys and toys, In my old age I seem to joining the Chavs begrade :shock:

i might consider the mid section then, dont really want to change the back box, i like the prodrive pipe. just wanted a bit more noise and changing the mid section seems the way to go.

For me Millie's exhaust hits the note and looks good too. It takes a Midland boy to show you lot the way forward!

I'll have one within a month!

What exhaust did you have Spike?

You don't have to remap with a cat back exhaust?
