I have no idea how to post sound files
Regarding max sound level, think even the std sidepipe would have problems with most trackdays

Have my exhaust made today, when I first saw the silencer, I was very concerned as it was less than half the size of the original, thought to myself I've just wasted £300, its going to be too loud...



I assummed it was a straight thro., then Rick show me his design which was exactly identical to my sketch



My main concern with the sportpipe is its bassnote and rumbling sound may transmit into the interior and ended up boomy and intrusive and ultimately tiring if you travelling over long distances, I took that chance and glad to report that there was no boominess in the interior during the 1 1/2hr drive back.

Soundwise....At idling, its quite, very slight rumble(bearly detectable), but as soon as gas is applied, the sound it emits can only be described as music to the ears(cliche I know), it just woofles with a nice clean bass, pops and bangs were more obvious and slightly louder, under hard acceleration, the bass note seem to have disappeared and was replaced with burbling/flatulent sound (the flatulent sound was less obvious at low speed than the std sidepipe).
There were no discernible differece at motorway speeds on part throttle.
I'm well please with the result considering this was JP first attempt, its louder overall, but for all the right reasons
Price? £150each

Cereal, I asked Rick about your header, he could only give me a rough estimate £5-£600 each side

On YouTube, then a link?

When my car was tested at MOG007 at Goodwood, it registered 87db at 4,500 revs (I cheated a bit on the revs and it was in fact nearer 4,000+). Another Aero with rear-sports exhausts registered 86db, so we were both well within the noise limit for the day.

Great result.... I bet you managed to shed a few KG's as well looking at it. JP have also managed to get the larger pipe on the exit of the silencer by making the box a little shorter...nice. For £150 each that's pretty good value.

Thanks for asking about the exhaust headers... other than the price did he comment on the OEM parts at all?

Interesting. I'll host the sound file if you don't want to worry about it - just send me a mail with it attached and I'll do the rest.

Interesting info Aeroman about the rear sports pipes - I was told this would pretty much preclude me from track days. It does seem loud (especially in tunnels!) but I've certainly heard a lot louder cars. Difficult to know. Perhaps the 105db claims are unjustified - certainly it's not massively louder than the sidepipes and if you're seeing 87 or thereabouts that's pretty much ok for just about any circuit..
