Abolutely, tunnels and underpasses are enormous fun. We came up from Florence in the summer along a MWay that has lots of tunnels and eventually into the Alps. We giggled our way through most of them, laughing at the noise of the car and how childish we were being about it, slowing down just to accelerate noisily again.

Yes I do like the sound of an HKS...

Zero to Sixty,

I use my "S" every day as a regular car and was planning an HKS at some point. When you say "compromise" I assume that you mean that on a daily basis the noise might get a bit much?. I'm all for a great exhaust note but is it really not something you's live with on a daily basis?.

Neil, I've got an HKS Hiper fitted and I hack back and forth along the M6 from Birmingham to Manchester most weekends. I've not found it to be a problem at all. I don't think it in anyway compromises the use of the S as a daily driver.

Someone posted on a thread with a link to a site which had WAVs of various different exhausts on it. Within the last month, I think.

If you do a search for HKS, you might be able to find it.
