Exhaust mod

Just been out for a drive for the first time since fitting the modified exhaust, 37mm ID (40mm OD) pipe. I have to say, it's not as loud as I was expecting\hoping. There is a small change in note, but not much. It seems louder when standing behind the car and revving it. Perhaps the K&N drowns the noise out once under load.... a little disappointed though. With the roof up, I'd never have known anything had changed. If anyone is concerned about going for 37\38mm, don't be, it's very subtle.
Decat next I think....

I definitely want to avoid that, it's why I was so hesitant about 37mm, but took the risk and turns out I had nothing to worry about. May try the sports cats from Dixon.

SCZ4 - I'd be interested in your opinion if you end up with a Decat, I found it embarrassingly Nova-fartcan-like!
It was when I combined it with a decat that things went a bit poop, so just thought I'd mention my experience. My next step is to try a high flow sports cat and see how that sounds.
Keep us posted

The video was excellent gave me a bit more to think about, I won't be adding k&n but I would like either the 32mm or 44mm
Not sure which either.
Do you need to tell your insurance that you did it?
I know my car def needs some sound but I will not change the exhaust to another one but this mod looks excellent.
What do most people do 32 or 44
Cheers
