    something that looks reasonably normal but with a deep burble sound.

    Nothing chav, just something to let the engine talk!!

    Miltek seem to be the favoured option because they don't boom on the motorway, having said that Tomcats exhaust sounded really good on his white T5 but the make is unknown...

    I'm hoping to listen to a few different options next week at the Heaton Park meet.

    My Miltek, (supplied by VT), is very nice .... not at all obtrusive at normal speeds but does sound very fruity at WOT (ask Justin or Viking T5 )

    i went the miltek option but have yet to hear the car from the outside with someone else driving my car so can not say what it sounds like from the outside but it is not that noticable from the inside, but the service from vt is first class they had it shipped to me all the way to cornwall at a very good price

    My old exhaust was hand made from the cat back, only a small back box and it sounded amazing, Very droney at motorway speeds tho so that was its downside

    My new exhaust is only a replacement for the back box which was removed but its silent, Again hand made but the "suitcase" will need to be removed, its too quiet

    RPM - she did have a Volvo sports exhaust on when I first had her (had to be replaced because a hanger on box broke away) - so she did once sound deeper without causing offence! (Ask Moppy, she liked it).

    The Volvo sports one was a central box with a small tail box, as opposed to the suitcase style standard one that's on now.

    Fun in the twisties!

    RPM, i recommend a Ferrita exhaust from the cat back. Had mine done at SWautos in Biddenden, Kent. Rear end is 90mm round (not chav). Exhaust note is .....FANTASTIC and you cant really hear it after 70mph on the motorway. But it burbles deeply on tickover, you have to hear it to appreciate it.

    That's one of the drawbacks with our cars, too much sound proofing and you cannot hear much outside,
