   Had it on for about 300-400 miles now, and let it build up some grime and so on, but it just don't sound as raspy as other videos ?
   
   I have the full decat system on a 4-2-1 on my S and unless its damp / wet it gets a little rasp going but other than that almost sounds standard :/ ive checked for blows and so on but nothing ?
   
   
   
   Any idea's?
   
   But I had a lump on the back the other day, and it was proper raspy then? Soon as he got out, sounds bog standard? :/

   actually laughed at said thread! Its only raspy when someone is in the back lmao! that sounds so stupid! Maybe the rasping was actually the exhaust scrapping along the road

    Its also on standard air box, but I wouldn't of though that would make much of a difference.... the more weight I have the more better it sounds bloody odd.

    LOL at "only raspy when fat kid is in the back", no the airbox won't really make a difference, you probably need to do another 1k before it gets raspy, or if it has a midbox maybe cut that out

    maybe it just sounds better with more weight in the back because the engine is under more strain with more people in, but to be honest it took a few 1000 miles before my scorpion exhaust had any sound to it, i know its not the same exhaust but just saying some take a long time to bed in

    Put a video on mate, you may have become accustomed to it as you're the one sitting in the car as the exhaist beds in and not noticed the change, my exhaust is standard so it will be easy for me to tell if it sounds like a raspy fart!

    You're only running on 3 cylinders but you're more worried about how raspy your exhaust is.
    
    I admit I'm not the most knowlegeable about engines etc, but surely getting back on 4 cylinders is more important?

    I'm not 100 percent on the 3 cylinders I said I think I'm going to be doing a compression test and check plugs and coil pack today
