I’m biased as I replaced mine, to me it just wasn’t loud enough by far. If you pay extra for a ‘sports’ exhaust then I’d expect a decent noise and it just isn’t there. Just my opinion of course but I’m not the only one by far and for a performance halo mode it’s just not enough.

Assuming that is what you get when you put in sports / dynamic mode then I would say that it is loud enough, certainly loud enough to get attention when I drove past people with it switched it on, which was the test.......

How do you use those links, do I need to install some sort of software.

You should be able to click on them and they play? It’s using the Vimeo software/app which is free for a basic user.

It didn't work on my iPhone, but it did work on my PC.

Thanks for the videos.

I've got factory sport exhaust and it's pretty quiet.
I'd hate to think what non sport version must be like :(
I'm tempted to cut out the mid silencers and have straight pipes welded in?
