    Good man, hope your well!!!

    Cool i like the sound of that. I have finally found a company that offer various mild steel exhaust parts i can DIY I don't mind it being mild as it doesn't have to last forever!!! and i can weld it up my self !

    No offence to etlsport as his car's awesome but this is the sound i'm trying to avoid. Kinda sounds like the packing is missing from the exhaust box

    I HIGHLY recommend hunting down the elusive PV1 (Power Vault 1 series). Occasionally, one will appear on the sales forums and it goes fast. Had mine installed new for about 6-7 years now and only gets better with age. You push more air with a S/C on a PV and you are really on sound-par with some V8s.

    That clip with etl's PV is most likley A/V artifacting. Though, he could be running a PV2, which, IIRC, has some resonance due to a baffle/silencer welded into the pipe or something. I think most have cut them out and it's mo'betta now. Maybe someone here can vouch for the PV2 that has one, though I have never heard one of those in person.

    Thanks, the manufacturers you mensioned don't seam to be available in the uk, i think getting some parts and doing it at home is the way forward. Should cost no more than £100

    in my vid on youtube, i do have the powervault2.. it can be a bit raspy from inside, but from the outside its only really raspy from an initial cold takeoff and over 4500 rpm.. but at that point the engine noise overpowers the exhaust noise anyway.. from outside the vehicle im not sure exactly how it sounds.. i know its deeper than it sounds on that video... either way when i get some extra dough.. i plan on getting an insert for the tailpipe like Ldub has to get rid of the rasp completely

    I went Magneflow...nice burbble at idle. Nice and quiet till you put your foot in it. Don't know if it will pass Euro noise restrictions though....much lower than over here. Just stay out of Switzerland
