yeah! Jesus I'm getting a bit paranoid. There's a metallic rasp at lower revs, but dunno about the whistle.. is it like a turbo whistle?
Must get one of the boys to boot past me in it when the rain stops.. (prob next Feb the way tis going!)

No, you were definately at high revs...
To be honest it does not sound too far off a turbo whistle.. Sounds pretty good if ya ask me. I'm sure if ya want to hear it, one of the lads, probably nugget, could give it a raz down the link or somethin past ya. Might have to ask him nicely as he doesn't really like bootin it....

The Nugget doesn't like booting it like I don't like the 'Fight club' thread
Yup, a fly-by is in order..

The quary near Ringaskiddy could actually be a good place to do it. You would be safe enough standing out on that road and you can push it a bit too...
Should be funny to see the "Foxy Stig" in action. Can't imagine myself askin him to do me a favour and raz the ass off MY car past me... Haaaa Haaaaa Haaaaa... Should be hilarious...

the problem will be getting him to stop! That said, if you've met John Fahy, Tony, or Roy you'd realise Pete is the safe one.

I have a video to either upload or put on disc, but it's 103MB! Probably not worth anyones time watching it either!!! Contains about 27 minutes of driving on track.
having watched it, I need to redesign my camera stand so the the camera sits higher - dash got in the way!!!
Narusa - couldn't get that DVD to play!!! Also, forgot to give you a blank disc.

TJ, I remember Ian's old 330Ci make a turine noise too. Is there not some valve in the downpipes that alters the airflow through them at high revs? I also think that the diameter of the rear outlet is relatively narrow which may cause a hose effect...

There is a butterfly valve on the exit of the inner pipe on mine similar to the 330ci; it remains closed on part throttle for drive-by noise regs. I have it disconnected (it defaults to open). That could be it alright. Good diagnostics, Brendan!
