Default Invidia fitted

Just had my back box swapped from mugen to invidia (cheers for the exhaust Kris). I wanted more noise as the mugen seemed quite subtle. I really like the noise but it is actually quieter then I expected. I have got the HT on and can't wait for Feb when I will go back to soft top. I had been told it was boomy around 3-4k but as I have different gearing the boomyness is 2600-3500 ish and so cruising speeds are fine. In 4th at low speed I can floor it and not go anywhere but create a great noise . I think the back of the car looks much better aswell.
I would've liked an amuse but don't have that sort of money spare.

Not yet. I will try and get some at the weekend. Went out for a 60 mile drive tonight and the car is filthy. Needs a good clean before pics are posted.

Hard top or even soft top up makes a huge difference to sound IMHO. Have an HKS exhaust and intake and with roof down it sounds awesome!. However, with roof up you do lose a fair amount of the sound. Roll on "roof down" weather!!.
