I've only seen one of my neighbours so far.

They've asked me not to wake the baby up (it's not due 'til January).

I had one, sounded fantastic with the roof down, roof up it boomed a LOT at "normal" revs, you had to rev high for it to not boom, made your ears vibrate

It does boom quite a lot.

I have the decat pipe but I haven't had it fitted yet. I'm going to let it carbon up to see how it sounds then, and fit the pipe if it's still mental.

It does make your ears vibrate!

Could be a genuine problem, as they're just too loug IMO. I don't think they sound that great either. Be prepared to be sent to the back on any meets you attend.

I made the mistake of driving behind Beardie when he had his (only for 15 mins till we came to a junction and I asked to go in front) and my ears were ringing for a good hour afterwards.

If you live in a quiet street they are not a good idea.

I don't think it'll be a problem; there's no denying that it is loud but I'll be alright as long as I keep the revs down 'til I'm out of the close.

And I could always stick the bungs in, which I may do out of curiosity anyway.

I won't mind being sent to the back at meets.
