    Yeah one you made me!!

    With a Feritta cat back. I did toy with the idea of going and seeing the guy that built the Accord exhaust. It's the only custom exhaust I've seen where the workmanship is better than any off the shelf system I've seen. Most people who get a 'custom' exhaust aren't that truthful when it comes to how good it actually is. Most custom exhausts I've seen have been utter bilge.

    I'm open to options if anyone has any experience of a nice sounding exhaust on a P2 T5/R?

    The S70 had a Feritta d/p and Miltek catback. It had zero drone at any RPM. Was nice and subtle when pottering, and sounded like a jet plane on full chat! Any chance of achieving that on a P2 R?

    I've got an Elevate AMS to go on, so that will add some induction noise.

    Has anyone heard a P2 that sounds as nice as a P1 with a D/P and Miltek? I haven't! Nowhere near!

    De-cat only makes a big difference (noise wise) on the 850s because of its size........made hardly any difference on my t4.

    Oh yeah I know. I bought mine from Darth Cabletie & The Poisoned Dwarf years ago, and sold it for the same money I paid last year!

    Unfortunately they don't make one for a P2!

    I know they won't make any more P1 exhausts unless someone puts in a minimum order of 10! Don't think they even bothered with a P2.
