Good to hear, sounds similar to my Janspeed system but a little more throaty. Thought about this myself but didn't want to hear anything on a motorway run etc.

Do you have center boxes on that? I have just standard rear boxes, infact it was a brand new exhaust that I had fitted at the same time. (along with a new rad and aux belt... old girl has been demanding this month)

I will take a better video when I get 5 minutes, joys of being bed ridden with flu/plague for the last few days!

Mam couldn't afford a bike for me when I was a kid, I just played with the cardboard and peg. You youngsters don't know what it was like.......blah blah blah

Cool. What parts did you have to buy to make the link pipe? I'm thinking of doing mine.

Mate of mine had that sounded just like a V8 because there were spokes missing.

Yep, mine has the centre box (i'ts the full cat back system). I replaced mine for the same reason as centre box was in a pretty bad state.
Just had the aircon sorted out on mine this month but might look to do the centre box delete for a bit of fun next month. Like you say, easy enough to put back on if it's too much.

I will have to get my pliers out today and whip a few out. Is there any spacing I need to get the firing order right ?:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi

Yeah course there is. From your chosen first spoke, count 8 then remove that one, then 4 and remove that one in the sequence 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2. Although doing this could cause the wheel to collapse. Then you would have to do what V8 owners have to do, get a lift or catch a bus.

How do you know your V8 is misfiring......it starts to sound like a healthy diesel

Ooooo, bitchy. Love the sound of a burbling V8 and also my diesel with a boot full of throttle and the turbo winding up.

Diesel engines have but one purpose in life, to be by far and away the most reliable form of internal combustion engine. Sound bites are a non essential element in their superiority.

I agree, in a commercial vehicle!

For a laugh I keep a document with the start and end milages of all the vehicles I have ever owned, looking through it I have owned 1 diesel and its the ONLY car to have ever let me down

Not bad with a list containing a pair of twin turbo 300zx's Range Rover, an M3 and an M5. However I will admit the none functioning diesel was french... (total circa 150k)

However I have had a myriad of vans all with diesel engines and only 2 of those have ever let me down so that's 2 out of 13 (aint bad....its not quite the song but close!) Over 250k in the vans
