C43 decat and resonator delete

[DRBC43AMG]

Said I would be back to give some impressions after a (2 x 4h) weekend drive. The sound of Olly's secondary decat and resonator bypass pipe is fantastic and the missus loves it too :bannana: The slight drone in 5th between 2500 and 2800 rpm is not intrusive and doesn't bother me. I guess my ear has now adapted to the new sound. Find myself shifting down gears more often than necessary and giving it some pedal in tunnels The sound on start up in a confined environment gives me goose pimples and I love seeing people jumping in surprise.

Concerning consumption, I did notice a very slight improvement on motorway driving at a relatively constant 130km/h (80 mph) using the tempomat mostly. Overall consumption during the last 11k miles shows a 26.6 mpg average. Not too bad for mixed driving including drives up and down the mountain passes

That's the word: a bark combined with a snarl

Here is a better sounding video of the decat and resonator bypass :bannana: even if the microphone doesn't like it too much: YouTube - ‪C43 with secondary cat and resonator delete.AVI‬‏
I will be making an action video done using a decent camera and better sound
