I have a 38mm I/D with test pipe... Sounds awesome apart from when you have a head to head with something faster, it sounds like you're trying too hard, but failing... Of course, only on track :S

Sorry Mikes that's a resounding no! I hated the zaust mod with a test pipe, the bugle sounds poop (IMO!) which is why I got a Berk HFC.

It's just about as good as you can get without replacing the OEM system

You must have to drill or cut a hole otherwise you would just be adding a pipe without an air path. Is thete a DIY for this anywhere?
Assuming you're in the Hants area as I think I read that you use TGM, Longlife in Basingstoke did my exhaust mod for £60. Well worth it to save you the hassle........
Cheers for the tip! I'm about an hours drive from Longlife..
Like japcrap, I don't mind a journey as well; if recommended by a member here.

Mine is tegiwa test pipe with 20mm (i think) pipe mod the rest is standard. The 20mm means at low/crusing revs you hardly notice the noise at all but when you put your foot down it make a louder but not over the top noise but this i suppose its to personal preffrence im glad i didnt go larger as i don't want my eardrums vibrating at normal crusing speed but again to personal preffrence.

Nice1 thanks for the tip; so I guess I'll go for 22mm being all stock with just a Berk HFC..

That would be lovely if you can when you can!
Start up and a couple of 2nd and 3rd gear pulls will be really nice to listen to!
