Yeah she pops and bangs in every gear at even moderate revs like a Focus RS.
When I figure out how I`ll post up a sound clip too.

Looking great m8. Mine pops and bangs too, even at moderate revs but not every gear change...just some

If you want it to sound even nicer, remove the resonator section immediately after the CAT. Mine growls and burbles at very low revs and you can really hear the 5 pot sing at all rev ranges especially wot. Its not obtrusive in the cabin either.

Mine was bought in a place called BT Autos in Longside Aberdeenshire but if you do a search for LONGLIFE EXHAUSTS they have fitters all over the country.

No thanks.I like that look.I was literally sitting on the floor taking some of those photos and the car is pointing downhill.In the cars normal stance you dont see too much of the pipe but cheers anyway.

The guy that done mine was called Bob I think but he was a craftsman.I waited while he did it and he encountered a few problems along the way but it was an expert job.Absolutely no problems with it.
When I fired her up he thought it was the best exhaust noise hed ever heard.High Praise.
I get the horse and cart bit but there was nowhere else even remotely close.

Was there any difference with the Lifetime exhaust you had fitted compared to the Powerflow one that Turriff tyres do?
If you check your fitters web site you will see a close up of your exhaust.

The only thing with Turriff tyres was they were not keen on the 3inch pipe. Longlife said it was no problem so I went with them instead.

Evolve Volvo tuners use a 3 inch pipe and swear thats the way to go.

Jimmie,Whats their website address mate?
