I dont quite get why you bought a more suttle exhaust system and then removed the sound deadening, kinda defeats the object dont you think? Lol

nope, as people can hear a loud exhasut coming, they cant hear the sound deadening being thats been removed

id prefer a quite exhaust and just here the throttle bodies bark, and it realy is the loud pedal then

you can make it loud or quite

I have to say my corsa was lovely and quiet under low throttle, people always complimented it on the motorway for how quiet it was. until you pushed the pedal just that bit more and all hell breaks loose under the bonnet.
