    No not Neil Diamond but my new (2nd hand) sports exhaust.

    After joining Fchat around July last year I thought I had it all owning a fabulous Testarossa, but I soon realised or rather I learned that F's can sound even better with an aftermarket sports exhaust.

    Now obviously I wanted one but could not afford one. So I bided my time and waited and eventually someone on fchat Kam (The Don) was getting a new Capristo and offered me his old Stainless-Exhaust.com one.

    So I picked it up from Verdi and set to, bumper and valance have to come off and the exhaust comes out the bottom, sounds easy doesn't it. Its not too bad just a bit fiddley.

    Anyway it's all back together and is incredibly loud, I think its louder than Stevef's so much so I even wonder if its street legal. I wonder if its why Kam sold it perhaps he couldn't live with it. I just went up the road and all the curtains were twitchin and I reckon my neighbors are gonna love me, not.

    Anyway I'll see whats it's like on a run, heres a few piccys:D

    BARABUS,
    Very tasty looking piece of kit you've got there. I'll keep my eye out in Peterborough for you when you are driving around. Looking closely at the shape and design of your new exhaust I'm guessing it gives a full bodied, bassy sound. When you get a sound sample sorted, as well as posting it on this forum, don't forget to email the sample to Don Pembleton (owner of www.stainless-exhaust.com) so he can put it on his website. His email address to send any soundbites to is [email protected] As for it being too loud, Don't worry, just ease off the throttle when you see Old Bill about.
