If you say so, Chunk. I felt 50mm spacers a tad excessive and that they screwed up the handling.

50mm?! That must have looked sh1t! Got any photos for a giggle?

10mm spacers will look great.

50mm spacers, never heard of that size on a road car before. Mind you, tis a serious widebody.

Over the moon with it.

Quieter (definitely on cold idle which was what I wanted) but makes a much nicer noise, the tone is much nicer . Pops lovely on the overrun.

Result then! I was worried it wasn't going to sound much different to what you had but it seems the extra nuance fits in with what you wanted.

It no longer fucks off the missus or her parents at 4AM so she also thanks you eternally!
