paulworthing Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I would like to hear the car from inside too when it is not being belted round atrack to see how obtrusive the exhaust noise is as they even say "Adding to the drama is the twin-exit exhaust, which pops, bangs and fizzes with every prod of the throttle. The noise can become a little wearing over long distances on the road" which is my point - although it does look like a blast!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSM123 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 His face cracked me up lol, what they dont show on these videos is the noise the exhaust makes when changing down through the gears, the crackle and pops - which I love lol.Trickz, glad you are happy with your upgrade, can you do a little test for me (for yourself really), drive the car and then park her up for between 30 and 45 mins then go out in her again, if any power loss issue is going to happen it will be then and only then, it will never happen on a cold or warm engine, its always that in between bit when the engine is starting to cool. So their demo car is it still losing power or have they done the new ECU update on it now? I need to speak to Rob to see if he has had any changes done on his yet. Hedgepig - move away hun you know you really really dont want that green thing rofl x I havent had anything yet either, its weird, but im sure the different map made the car quicker, because everyone that got in my car when i had the last ecu update on the car said what else have i had done to it, it seemed to pull harder and be generally quicker, it doesnt seem to pick up as quick with this map on, i thought it was n my head but others seem to think it was quicker and smoother aswell. Im still debating whether to do some more bits to my car or just get something else next year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxtrickzxx Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 you can here it but its only loud when your booting it,once you get to speed and back off the throttle its almost silent like standard,ive been on the m1 today cruising at 75mph and couldnt here anything apart from tyre roar but my right foot was just resting on the pedal,press abit harder and then it gets louder!

DNStuff Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 My plan is to leave it a year or two before I get an upgrade, just so that when my fingers are itching for something new, I can get a nice upgrade for the car to make it feel fresh again. Also hopefully by then it will be cheaper, and less problematic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's a thought - when the Ford OPptions comes to an end, in 2 years time, get a loan to buy out the remainder of the cost and add on the Mountune kit too!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
