Is the exhaust mods the same as the back box delete? Loving the noise of the 3.0 so far, the previous owner took both the sound filters out so it makes some racket when flooring it!!
Yeah white is a nightmare to keep clean to be fair lol. Not sure if the wrap makes it harder or if it doesnt make a difference.

DuckLakeView cuts open then connects flexi pipes inside the rear box, the effect is simply eargasmic...

That sounds pretty sweet, is this the same as the delete or is there a difference. I've heard the back box delete can be a little too loud but yours sounds about right :thumbsup:

I was all set last weekend to take it off but after cleaning it and the sun coming out we just went for a drive instead.

Ooops! Just spotted this :oops:
There is a slight difference as the box is still there and (I think) some of the gas is still allowed into the box. This mod doesnt drone when cruising at 70 which I've heard is an issue with the delete. Hopefully you make it to one of the upcoming meets and you can hear it first hand :driving: :thumbsup:

:lol: I'm glad you sorted it. Seriously this has made me want a Phoenix yellow. It's stunning. Hope to see it in the flesh someday.
Oh btw I think the wheels look good,and I'm not a black wheel fan as a whole.
Again well done on all the effort.
