So me and the lovely wife were out shopping at Cheshire Oaks in Ellesmere Port yesterday and decided to park up in the multi-storey carpark. When we left i fired up the A500, gave the engine a short-sharp rev and set off several Car Alarms due to that beautiful note produced from the exhaust  After much laughter and a quick exit from said carpark (several unimpressed older people looking on), i couldn't help but imagine how many more i'd have set off with the Monza exhaust installed  |

I'll try it and let you know...... Best car park around this part of the world for resonant frequency is the Chester Grosvenor Multi-storey. |

The standard system does sound awesome after a few thousand miles. I love driving down narrow streets with the windows down and hearing the burbling etc  |

When I worked in S. California, I had a Harley chopper with custom exhausts. If I ever ventured even close to a multi-story, every car alarm went mental. In fact, few parked cars were safe from that Fat Boy  |

I had a custom exhaust hand built and sport CAT fitted to my old C4 VTS 180 as it was cheaper than the only replacement from Citroen (they wanted £1750! plus fitting!) Walked in, lad says what sound do you want - standard I responded - ended up with a "quite (very) loud" system. Driving home my skull vibrated worse than when the mother in law starts to bump her gums at me. Even though the company said it would get quieter in time through use, it didn't. Long gradual hills on motorways were bad, SWMBO and I just resulted to smiling at each other as a form of communication... after a time it does your head in. I know its not an Abarth but I've a soft spot for this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2Ung4WR34UDecent exhaust + Straight Cut Box + Supercharger - Slipping fan belt(  ) =  |
