    I struggle with any social media other than Facebook...

    But found you: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMeBKMqg...n-by=ijstewart - Scorpion straight turbo back? Excuse my ignorance but do you mean decaf in there too? That sounds lovely, possibly a bit on the lairy/loud side for me but hard to be sure.

    Thanks, just had a listen. Was the 0-60 vid totally standard or was that without the centre resonator? Found another of your older videos of what you say is standard JCW exhaust and it sounds brilliant to me! I'm starting to wonder if there is in fact a bigger difference in volume between the standard S exhaust and JCW. I guess one route for me might be a JCW rear only, see how I get on, then if still too quiet look at either removal/changing centre resonator or a sports cat? (decay does appeal but not come MOT time or potential insurance implications).

    Sorry I have 3 videos of the exhaust stndard the 0-60 was with jcw back bax and no resonator. Ive always thought the mini sounds really good anyway but yeah even when my car was totally standard it seemed to pop a little more than others

    Thanks, I really do quite like the sound of yours but just maybe a tad lairy for me but I'll keep it in mind. Wasn't one I'd considered until hearing your video. I do enjoy the drive up to Crieff via Glendevon/Gleneagles so might give you a shout sometime if that was OK?

    Why not go for a resonated one in that case. Would be slightly quieter. Yeah sounds great I'm always up for a drive
