Anyone else think it's just too loud, or am I getting old???

Drive the car for the first time today since fitting it and it just seems so intrusive.

Nope! Always thought it sounded just about right, maybe even a bit quiet sometimes. You get used to it pretty quick don't worry!
Deffo a bit louder this time of year when it's colder though.

Not loud enough for me as the Rogue Diablos on the rear drown it out most of the time.

I want something that is as loud as the RamAir I had on my VR6.

That's a no from me too. Mine doesn't drone when cruising and I think it sounds the dogs when you open the tap. S54 needs an intake like these!

Makes no more noise than standard when driving normally. Maybe get yours checked. Love the sound when u nail it.

I had a RamAir on my VR6, but I don't remember it being this loud.
I then swapped the RamAir for a supercharger, but thats another story all together.

You're right, its fine when driving normally, but I don't drive normally as a rule. The car does about 1k a year, so I tend to enjoy it when I do use it.

Its just so loooooud

Yeah man only do 3000 mile a year in mine. If it’s too loud I’m sure someone will pull your arm off for it and give u £600 for the pleasure!

I test drove Booners old red M a few years ago, Gruppe M and an exhaust. First thoughts were “If I buy this car that bloody induction silliness will have to come off”.... Too loud for me on induction but the exhaust was brilliant, I’m about to pull the trigger on a pair of BCS boxes. The two together are just OTT but each to their own, I am 51 after all....

The drone is mainly from Pastry, the car didn’t sound that bad
