Default Invidia - Does it really sound that evil?

I have been listening to the exhaust files on www.s2000library.com and want to know if anyone out has there has listened to one over here in the UK and can verify if the cat back Invidia exhaust system does actually sound like the one on the clip.

I have gone and ordered one of these things and am hoping that they sound just as nasty as the the sound file.

If its true I am sure the neighbours are not going to like this one at all and the sound bungs may come in useful ( or maybe not )

Congratulations Rew.You will not be dissapointed.The Invidia on full song is awesome.On tickover it has a nice bass burble almost TVRish.Be prepared for a lot of attention.People hear you coming and turn to look wtf..... The only slight downside is it is a bit boomy around 4k revs but you do get used to it.Oh yes and it sets car alarms off .This is without the silencers I have never tried it with.

The sounds ideal, I have provisionally purchased a second hand one off the board, the owner has had a few problems with his car so he needs to sort them before it comes off. My impreza has a blitz exhaust and that sets car alrams off . Zoom up the road to the tune of car sirens, it's great, very inconsiderate but

Marc make sure you get the cat to invidia gasket when you buy second hand.These are a bugger to source.

I haven't got a car but I will make sure I have the relevant gaskets, if not I work next door to a garage so hopefully I will be able to source one, cheers for the heads up though

Trust me mate you will not get one at the garage next door.It is Invidia specific.As long as you get it all will be well.
