Hi everyone Can I confirm that as I am 67 I am not too old to join. I have purchased a 3 MPS and am delighted with it. It is fast but the only complaint I have is it is too damned quiet. I want it to roar. How do I do that.

Thanks for your reply. How much would the exhaust modifcation cost me and could you recommend a company who could fit it. I live in Kent.

Hello &  Have a search around on the forum, but I would suggest a custom exhaust as you can speak to the fitters about what your after and they can usually get the exhaust more the way you want it  For me I just got rid of the 2nd CAT and it's sounds a bit deeper and keeps me happy  , although now it 'should' fail an MOT due to the new 2012 MOT saying if the car came with 2 CAT's then they must both be there...but some have already passed without this year

How do I do that. Don't know how far you are from Redhill but there is a very good 'Powerflow' dealer there. They will make you an exhaust to your exact requirements, with a lifetime guarantee and at a reasonable cost (£250-£350ish). They're are calle RSR wheels and tyres. I would definately recommend that if you remove the second cat you should have some flanges welded in so that you have the option to put it back in if you need to although mine just passed it's MOT without! This is how it will sound with the second cat and one of the silencers removed  Good luck, oh and
