Cheers guys,
Neil

If your a decent car modifier, and he is a decent tuner, you'll not be interested in the sound, but will say tune it for performance.

The way I describe the sound my straight through makes is "balls out loud" so say you want it quieter than that :P

say you want a rumbly low sound, a bit like a scooby. I think they sound cool!!!

go up to the guy that asks the question at the garage, get out a toy car, get on your knees and go

"bruuuummmmm bruuuuummm screeeeecccccchhhhhhhh"

if your feeling daring you could try:

"bruuuummmmm tissshh bruuuuummm tissshh screeeeecccccchhhhhhhh brruuuuumm tissssshh"

he will understand, but you have to move the car round the floor and make it turn when you screech or you might look like a complete prat. lol

i got my exhaust fitted, sounds nice a chokey/deep when reving it through gears and then when im in 3rd going at 40mph and slowing down it pops+gurgles, then when im in 2nd going at about 30mph slowing down and i put clutch down and tap accelerator it BANGS! sounds likea fu cking turbo'd car or summit, ?200 well spent, just brought green cotton air filter indutcion kit, splitfire leads and bosh super 4's spark plugs and having it rolling road tuned on saturday, should move a bit quicker!
