Sorry chet, this is the best i can do, at idle, then off down the street at morning pace then afternoon pace,
as you can hear at normal pace it isn't to obtrusive, this is with a 22mm link pipe, so will be interesting to hear
benb89's, do you think it sounds like it's blowing as has being suggested, only it's being bugging me,

Thanks iv'e being paranoid about it since AntGPW suggested it sounded like it was blowing, nearly had Ray put it back to standard to day but thought i'd get a bit more input first,

No need to apologise! We appreciate the effort you're going to for the benefit of others on the forum .

It has a nice burble on tickover which seems noticeably more vocal than standard; sounds good .

I can see why it was suggested it sounds like it's blowing, and to some extent that's what the 'mod' does - allows exhaust gases escape via unintended outlets! A wider diameter link pipe may pronounce the 'blowing' sound even more, so perhaps 22mm was a good size to go with. I guess it's about finding a sweet spot. Agree - ben89's feedback should help with this .

Cheers i was just after increasing the sound slightly over standard and at the least expense, but retaining the oem look, so if i'am not happy it can be quickly put back to standard at very little cost.
