Oh here we go again, my fave topic of the moment 'Awesome' sound - a bit muted maybe, or just the right side of annoying for the neighbours? And by improvement do you mean sound or other improvements?

My Sunday was wasted revising for some stupid management exam. As you can tell, I`m not really in the 'team' spirit today. BUT I get to drive from Newcastle to Margate today some some serious bum-numbing cruising on the A1 is in order

No Nav - I use paper (maps)

Hmmm. I have an 04 and it flips up. I feel cheated.

I hope so - roll on summer and a nice high-gloss wax!

Washed the filth of a week on the motorway off of the car yesterday. I go back to it today and it looks like it has been through a sandstorm. A little rain has taken the dust out of the air and the car is covered in a ton of dust No chance of polishing it as it needs another wash! To add an insult, there were two big, acidic goose craps down the side.

Very nice, I`ve already had a good trawl

ouch!

Welcome

Ok, sold I`ve put it on my calendar. Will have the new exhaust by then so will need a excuse for a good blat

Next Wednesday or the weekend then

I`m interested in this but after reading the long list of posts I still can't work out what the day consists of! It seems like there is a tootle around the roads somewhere in the north and may somehow be linked toe hotel near Chester but that is about it. Clearly you old hands know all about it but for someone who hasn't been with the forum for very long it's not easy to see what is going on - or have a missed a vital post somewhere? So - when and where does it start, how long does it last and what is involved? All good questions I hope.

Ok, so I take it no Dave at Phils today then... Actually I was going to ask about badges when I got there too I have decided on two chrome fellas - just want to hold them against the car to check first. Oh well, the rugby is on today so I guess my plans will have to wait until next week

As live in Newcastle I can't complain at that Yep, I`m up for it

Ha ha! Every scrotty mechanic has had a raz round in it!

It's good to keep a Big Thanks to Phil thread going at all times...

Ah, confirmed that teh Nismo is a bit quiet! I won't change the CATs. The DC system sounds good because of the twin piping. The 5Zigen is still in the running...

No because then I will buy it ! Bloody nice offer though! I need to hear the Nismo too. And I`m not allowed to buy until the end of March because of warrenty Dave - rough idea of time and I`ll be there

I know, I missed my chance. Saying it sounds stunning doesn't help me decide, though As I'm buying it from you (I did mention that didn't I?) maybe I should ask you directly Do you have anyone around in the next few days I could pester and they wouldn't mind? The thing is, I want a nice sound, not too muted but at the same time want to avoid droning on the motorway or sounding like some souped up chav scooby with a dustbin on the back.

Blimey they are a bit tasty! :teeth: erm, the tailpipes

Hmm, well you say that but I`m concerned that its a little quiet? I want something that I turn off the radio and listen too. It comes from driving V6 Alfa Romeos. There isn't a lot that sounds as good as them but I`m wanting to try.

Its cheeky but I would love to hear few different exhausts and get an idea of what to buy

Ah, for some reason the pics didn't download for me before. Looks nice! I`m impressed that it has reasonably subtle tailpipes. I was considering at a plain-ended 5zigen also. Can't manage Donny but will gladly meet people at Big Phils if any are around. I feel a new thread coming on...

The DC fitted to the car? I`m about to choose an exhaust and am torn between the looks of the nismo, or something just that little bit raunchier in sound. I don't like big dustbin exhausts though so basically want to see everything out there and make a choice based on looks AND sound! Somehow I doubt that will be easy...
