   as above but have a good think if you really want a loud exhaust, i thought i wanted one but after a few months it got really annoying, just something to think about.

   Get a K&N filter shoved in your airbox. That wil make a nice sound in conjunction with your 'zorst.

   Are you looking for performance over sound or sound over performance??? personally i would save myself that money your gonna spend on the K&N and put it towards a new manifold cams etc etc

   it went on ok in the end then mate? any pics?
   
   As people have said either an induction kit or a de-cat will make it much louder. Its a quiet exhaust, which is 1 of the reasons i bought it. Been there and done that with loud ones and they do your head in after awhile!

    Go onto ebay and have a look. Do a search for De-Cat pipe, all that does is instead of the exhaust fumes being filtered through a catalist converter it goes straight through making it louder and slightly quicker. A straight through centre section would be good too. Basicaly you have a silencer box half way down your exhaust and taking it out and replacing it with a straight bit of pipe will make it slightly louder. You can get them cheap off Ebay.
