I'm getting some high flow mufflers in a few weeks, I'll let you know how they go. I searched a lot of YouTube clips ages ago and never really liked the ragazzon / Supersprint sounds, best I found was a mid muffler delete and mild steel sport mufflers. Cost would seem about the same as brand name system and I doubt power gains would be noticeable on a stock NA engine.

Hi , where are you getting your parts from ? I was looking at importing a pair of novitec exhaust.  Doesn't sound bad at all. Please pm me cost of your system when it's done

Sure thing, I'm just going to my local exhaust guy to swap pieces out til it sounds good - they've usually got magnaflow/xforce/lukey generic stuff on the shelf but are usually pretty good with diameters and the like. This video is my favourite sound, I'd wager the complete novitec systems etc are a bit better HP wise but I'm mainly after noise. Mechanic might have an ansa backbox somewhere as well, I'll post up what I find [emoji106]

I like the sound , it's deep and crackling , might wait to see your set up and how much it cost before I order my stuff . Might not need to :)

I forgot about this thread - this is two resonators at the back and a new stainless rear section, stock resonator and cats at the front. I should get around to doing a better vid at some point amongst other things. Pricewise could have got a rear section from Supersprint for the same, I like the sound but the volume is up there, at least the rear section is now bolt on and off so I can revert back to the stock gear.
