    Deeper bass note will be lush! Agree about facebook. Lots of repeat questions and no continuity. What is wrong with forums? You get to know people.

    Thanks, @Luke I will indeed have H&S install it, I shall take a day off and let them do the fitting and snagging. Ian has been most helpful so far!

    You’ll love this exhaust, I’ve got it and the sound is great. No drone at all just a nice sound. Make sure that you get h and s to fit it as it’s likely to need tweaking with a blow torch to fit correctly as there are a few joins. Ian is great at h and s.

    I still dislike Facebook's haphazard nature and threads that get quickly lost, so I'll continue blogging here. I finally got truly fed up with the temperamental nature of my TD exhaust, the noise that is still loud, and gets a lot louder when hot, and its poor build quality (I've twice had to have the end welds on the super-resonator re-made). Not to mention the front dampers that were destroyed because they used a mole wrench on the piston struts. That, together with all the trouble I had with my TD manifold burning the top hose, means I want rid of the last bit of TD from my car. I've decided, based on videos, owner reports and talking to Hayward & Scott, on a new exhaust. I'm having a bespoke one made using their large silencer, dual Helmholz resonators and tips. I specified 60mm stainless steel as they said it's good for up to 350bhp and I'm never going to uprate it above the 300bhp it's pulling now. I want it quiet! They report 88dB at 5000 rpm with a stock engine, so add 2dB for the supercharger. That will comfortably beat the 100dB or so that mine creates using my SPL meter at 1m distance. More importantly, it will be much quieter around town, there should be no drone and it will have a deeper bass note. Installation is expected to be in about 4 weeks' time.
