    Im thinking of getting the One Ball mod done to my car, the right silencer looks a little tatty anyway. Is there much difference in the sound? Any performance gains?
    I'd get a Stainless system but funds are limited at the moment.
    Anywhere in edinburgh or surrounding areas that would be happy to do the job?

    Oh and this one doesnt seem to pop n bang on overrun, i seem to rememeber my 54plate one years ago poped n banged!!

    Will need to pay them a visit soon then.....like i said, no burbling or poppin on this one, my last one did with even the standard exhaust!
    Are the reduced pulleys worth while too? Is the whine louder with one?

    Whine remains the same but smaller pulley gives more charge and more power... Does increase slightly but it is what it is...

    Go go for it...even try a filter first cheaper and easier to change back it your no keen..

    Exhaust I think is a bit hit n miss noise wise if you're having a custom system built. The one on my blue S I thought was quieter than the original inside the car but had a wee rumble outside it.
    Single back box will certainly be louder ... not too sure about pops n bangs.
    The smaller pulley will make no difference to the noise ... but a different air box or filter would. I'll post the spec on mine after the weekend which has an addictive if a little loud exhaust note :)

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Would even a replacement air filter in the standard box make a difference to noise?
