Mine is pretty tame, but it's about 10 years old so I don't know how much the design has changed in later years. Also, I still have standard induction - should be a bit louder when I get around to putting a K&N on.

Not loud at all just right in my opinion...in fact if I did critisize I would say they are too quiet, just a crisp note as the revs rise. If you want noise don't buy one. :thumleft: :thumleft:

for me its fine
nicely louder than stock but not anoyingly loud
worth mentioning that more noise does not mean more power

Had it fitted this morning, quite pleased with it.

Not too loud, the exhaust that was on my car was knackered, so there has been a power hike, which is nice!

I love mine, quiet and seemless for trundling around but noisier when thrashing it, I think it's qiute loud on song.

Yep I have indeed. Mated it up with my standard front section, modified to cut the middle box out. Means the only silencer is the rear box which the magnex system has. Not too loud at all.

Had some fun in the snow today! Donut galore!

Good good hope it was what you wanted.

I went to Lincoln on friday for a clubbing weekend with my mate. Found that it had snowed during the early hours when I woke up this morning, and a junction became very interesting first thing :) the snow in the footwell and all over my seat wasnt fun though when I first opened the door lol
