Thanks mate, its not straight through it has 1 silencer in the tunnel so its not overly loud. It has a nice rumble on idle and is obviously louder than standard but isn't OTT, makes some great noises on full throttle and some crackles low down.
Emissions wise it passed its last MOT with no issues since it still has the precat and sports cat is 200cel, I think race cats can have issues since they're 100cel but sports cats are fine usually.

Quite possibly could, I didn't see anything online but doesn't mean it can't be done, I don't like butttos though so doesn't bother me at all. Its nicer to drive and look at so I'm happy :grin:.
Nice wheel :drool:i wanted one but pain to fit speak to TIM @ The Phirm he's knows his stuff he's done this work before and is reasonably priced too
Probably going to strip the car out within a year also so I'm not too fussy about interior upgrades.

Cheers, hopefully the new module will fix the horn but if not I might give him a call and see if he's got any ideas :happy2:

Interested to see what you've done with the steering wheel :happy2:

So bought an ED30 gear knob from @mvb12 thanks again Marv, pleasure as usual.
Bit tatty around the edges but exactly what I was after, sent it off to Joe at Trim deluxe who I would highly recommend. And it cam e back like this.
It looks quite light but it's a darker shade of red and matched the steering wheel very well.
Really brightens up the interior. I love the MK5 interior but its a bit dull as standard.
