i just need to say that you chaps know a lot about exhausts
Not me...
Cerealsurfer, I went to JP today and told them how I wanted, they've done a number of BM V8 before and reckoned they're not too loud even with a straight thro pipe, but not sure how my Aero would sound. However if I find it too loud, i could bring it back and they could tweak it. Knowing that they could tweak it to make it quieter, I've booked my Aero in next week...
so watch this space.
