sp7_91 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Looks good mate! Any chance of a video to see how loud it is from inside the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5GDM Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 I've done a video from outside but don't know how to post it. I'll do one from inside tomorrow, but I can tell you it's definitely more 'booming' & rasping, but not excessive for someone like me that's to old to be a boy racer. The guys that fitted it were impressed with the build quality of the exhaust, & it went on with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp7_91 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Might be best to upload to YouTube and link it. But sounds up my street, any drown at motorway speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Sounds beautiful :) Where did you take it to have it fitted, and what did they charge? I was quoted about £55 to have it done at the local Ford dealer (0.7 hours labour). Also do you know if they had to cut the old exhaust to get it off, or is it possible to keep it? (could be worth selling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5GDM Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Does get a bit 'boomy' between 3500 - 4000 rpm, but I can live with that. I took it to the local tyre & exhaust centre & they charged me £65. The original exhaust has to be cut to clear the rear 'axle', but is easily put back if needed using a sleeve to bridge the cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREED Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Looks and sounds good up close, any chance of drive by video? I'd be interested to see what to it sounds like at normal speeds and also going full pelt to bystanders. How much of a change do you notice to the sound in the cabin?

E5GDM Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Just done my longest journey so far with the new cat back, & the noise is a fare bit intrusive in the cabin (as I said above) between 3500 - 4000 under acceleration. But it sounds gorgeous from 4000 to the red line at 6000 (ish). Would love to do the 'drive by vids, but will struggle to do them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp7_91 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 So it's not too loud at day motorway speeds then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREED Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Would love to do the 'drive by vids, but will struggle to do them. Fair play, how's the sound when under load, any pops or bangs? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E5GDM Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 None I've noticed so far, just sounds louder & more 'sporty'. As I've said before it's a bit 'boomy' between 3500 - 4000 rpm, even starts to hurt the ears a bit (that could just be because I'm old now), But all in all sounds really nice, especially when giving it some through the gears to the red line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 At least when you're going above 3500 revs that's only for a moment while you're accelerating, and as long as it's not too loud under 3k then it won't be a problem. I really want it but trying to be sensible with my money lol, too many other expenses coming up like holidays and new tyres :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely like the sound, even without it popping, and as Phil said noise above 3500 isn't the worse thing in the world.

dmizz93 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Any donations welcome.

Phil 87 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Unfortunately I can't afford it :P Join the club lol. Also it's out of stock again so at least that removes the temptation to just stick it on the credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
