Still loving the new exhaust. I thought I would try and make a short video of it today but a) the mic is clearly in the wrong place (too much distortion) and b) it started raining. Heavily.
But, here's a quick video anyway. Will try and get a better one.
Video is of a cold start and then just some basic driving. Unfortunately, due to the weather, I couldn't really put the hammer down.

Both Stuart (at Velocity) and James (at David Appleby Engineering have been great. Highly recommend them!

Nice work Sammy...is that just the exhaust (i.e., no sport cats)? And which exhaust is it, as I thought VAP did a few different 'level's depending on how loud you want it.
And it's definitely no louder when valves are closed? Very tempted by this, I must admit. Last question...how much was it if you don't mind me asking?

That exhaust sounds nice, doesn't seem any louder on closed and a tad more when open. Very nice
My biggest question would be around the gas flow of it. Open is ideal, but those 90 bends are terrible, expecting the gas to turn without any clear flow. Very restrictive..
If you drive all the time 'open' it doesn't matter

@Captainham yup just the valve controlled exhaust, no sports cats. Its Race+Touring sound level.
With the valves closed, it sounds just like stock. Unless of course, you're up above 4000rm.
It's around the £2500-3000 approx. depending on your options. I had ceramic black tips as extra.
LOTS more pops and bangs and more pops n bangs at lower revs too.

Do you know if these side skirts can be retro fitted?Alasdair 63 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2016 9:42 pm Hi sammy , the red and black looks great I noticed your front and side skirts are black did you have that done ?
what's the use?
A few photos from this week where it was COLD.
Went to pick the car up from the dealer after having a side skirt repainted that I embarrassingly scraped, and the car was frozen shut ha!
A bit disappointed remote start didn't work - that's kinda the point right!?
Went old school with some deicer so I could actually open the door!
And one bonus photo of InControl from Apple Watch coz I think its cool and geeky.

They should be able to be yes.
