    In your opinion... The Brabster's, straight-through quad sports exhaust (with DPF and EGR delete) sound fab - lovely deep growl. In any case, at least it SOUNDS.... i.e. makes a noise like an engine!!

    Silencio, me no likely.

    Of course it is my opinion.
    I have never heard your car, but I have heard others fitted with a sports exhaust.

    DPF and EGR bypass are easy to deal with at MOT time?

    Yup, if you have a good understanding with the garage in question

    I agree that, when tuned with sports exhausts, high-performance petrol engines usually have a better sound, and in comparison mine isn't as loud, but it still makes a nice growl!

    I may have to do a search to see if I can change my engine noise emulator to sound like a V8.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Induction roar used to be something Kawasaki 4 stroke motorcycles were known for, maybe still is.

    If I had to get another bike, it would be one of these, as I was way too young to have one first time round: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MivW0kvcB3k

    A PROPER bike on every level!

    Nice. Very nice. They fetch big money these days. But the thing is, if you rode it how it's meant to be ridden, crashes are inevitable. Didn't earn the 'widowmaker' moniker for nothing And if you survive binning it, the insurance hike would finish you off.

    This is what you want, a 2 foot wide 6 cylinder jobbie, with a motorbike wrapped around it. In that candy apple red
