I honestly cant wait for monday to be over...
Heading down to "Mike Stokes" in Bournemouth tomorrow morning, probably leave here [farnham] around 6:30am, hopefully get there for about 8:30.

I just sooo badly want my V6 to sound how its meant to sound.

I feel guilty about spending the money tho...but argh the sound...its got to be worth it.

Which one did you go for in the end, or is it a custom made job?

Its a custom one, which shall be decatted, straight as possible, with little silencing hopefully and it goes into a large oval either side...so that it follows the lines of the bodywork.
Its got to be better than the standard one. [i hope]

The suckah is on...

I'll get a clip posted later of before and after...

It sounds like a MASSIVE fart, not sure if I dig it or not yet. Its also VERY loud, when he had it on the hydrolic ramp thing, it didnt sound very loud, but now its on the floor it resonates soo much louder...maybe a touch too loud.
They are top guys tho, he's requested I go back down in around a couple of weeks to make sure nothing has gone out of place, and if i dont like the sound he can put another silencer in there.

It took a REALLY long time, poor sods, and still charged me the quoted price which was very good of them, I have to say I was panicing after 4-5 hours of work...

I'll take out my minidisk recorder tonight and upload some sounds.

Since my GTO is an auto, do you think its bad me making the exhaust pop ?

I do this when say im going along at 70, perhaps comming to a roundabout or exit, let go of the gas, put it in neutral, rev it a little, and put it back in gear, and step on the gas a little.. and it pops.
