OK uploaded a different video now. In car.

This is a better sound clip as there is no wind.

I have a small backbox which does make a difference but I also still have my mid muffler. They are both the same type of set-up (free-flow) but do make a difference. I already have a little drone at low and steady speed (up to 2.000 rpm) but above that it sounds great. I'd like it a little louder though. Someone told me that if I remove the mid muffler, I would have a little louder high tones, but not sure if that makes any sense...
Anyway, I'll probably remove the mid muffler and replace the cats some day

I got the full cat back system with rear muffler delete for £250 all in flat rate.
From Mike Stokes Motorsport in Bournemouth.
Excellent bunch of guys, dropped the car off at 9am and did the system by lunchtime, picked up on my lunch break! I was late back to work... any guesses why?

Thanks for the info, absolutely love the sound
I am based in Bournemouth and was referred to them after joining a modified car club, I had done a fair amount of research on what I wanted done to the exhaust prior to going in for a quotation, I wanted the car to be able to pass MOT emissions, shed a ton of weight and I wanted the sound signiture to be low, brutal but still drivable.
I also had some images and youtube videos for reference of similar sounding systems that I liked and after showing the guys all of these and discussing it for a good hour or so, they proposed the system which I finally went for. The price was far lower than I was expecting and I am blown away with the results... there was a car meet last Sunday which is where the sounds were recorded and it was turning heads all day.
I have experienced a small amount of drone at 70mph speeds but nothing that would put me off a long drive, seriously. I have been in worse sounding cars that were just LOUD for the sake of being LOUD.
Some additional benefits:
MPG has been improved by 2mpg so far (according to on board computer), weight has been reduced by 33lbs so the car feels nippier, basically the engine is doing less work to expell the waste gasses which is improving efficiency and giving me some very minor power gains, but the weight reduction is the main cause for handling and speed improvements.
The burn tail tips are really very unique and you'll rarely see these on another car, they have been slightly tilted to the side to follow the flow of the rear bumper basically it has been the single best £250 I have spent on my car so far and I would thoroughly recommend the guys at Mike Stokes Motorsport if you fancy a nice warm summer trip down to the South of the UK to get your car done. They even provided a disposal of my old system free of charge, I kept the back box to sell on ebay for a few quid.
All round, very happy!
What can I say, they're there until the respray happens It started as a joke but then they grew on me... so kill me... p.s. Its only half a shopping list :roll:
