I've had people tell me it sounds like a "fighterjet" when given some beans :twisted: Will get video up soon :-D It's alot more sharper through the rev range but may consider a dc sports or buddy club manifod soon.

I got it of my mate, he was in the process of selling all mods on his car. Never had the chance too put the manifold on though. So I Took it of his hands for £50 brand new he payed £85 i think :scratch: Think he got it of ebay? But like i said on the lookout for a dc or buddy club one now.

How long you had it for? Is it just the 4-1 header and you left the cat stock?

About 3 months now, and yea just a 4-1 header with cat stock. Couldnt be bothered with labour/m.o.t. costs at the time.
