    Can you post a vid of the sound..when it's hot? Looking on YouTube right now at the JCW milltek and scorpion. Just don't know what one to go for though.

    from what I could gather from looking through the vids and info I found on the net the Milltek is the quietest one, next would be the JCW and the loudest being the Scorpion but don't hold me to that. I went for the milltek and I am really pleased with it, sounds good when you are up the revs, not too loud to upset neighbours and no drone on the motorway.

    Oh really...?! Jeezo. Now I'm more confused!! Lol tbh..apparently my cars already pretty loud as stock. So what's a deeper drone between a few neighbours it's all this chat about de-cats and all that just stresses me out lol

    It can be a bit like but I'm happy to keep the cat, the milltek is louder than stock and Id say a deeper tone too, but not so much that you need if your heading on the motorway for any length of time

    I know I'm biased , but what about PLAYMINI... ?
    My R53 JCW 210 never sounded better. Was pretty loud with the Playmini Manifold... but GOOD Loud!

    Milltek's a great make and a safe bet though.

    No vids I'm afraid... but if you want awesome, the Playmini Manifold and exhaust certainly fits the bill. Ask anybody who heard my car!
