    the missus has decided.

    Finally had the better half out in the car for a run today and since it was nice the windows were down. She knew about the dump valve but hadn't heard it yet, so after a wee blast through the gears she turns and says, "is that the dump valve? Sounds pretty girly, can't you butch it up?"
    So after bursting my bubble she now thinks her cooper s is the better car.
    Out of interest and the need to shut her up the question is, can it be fetled with for a better effect? Or just let her tyres down?

    Race her Cooper S, once you've thrashed her, she'll have more to worry about than the sound of your dump valve.

    Throw the dump valve in the bin, it will make a much better sound
