I thought the same at the beginning mate. Planned other mods and then the full system exhaust and map to really set the car on fire (yet to be done on mine). Rear ARB is a very nice option, can't go wrong with it in my opinion. I'd recommend 25mm thickness

You will love it! ;)

Really impressed with mine, just wish it was still as clean as yours there in the pics haha. You will definitely want the hi-flow cat or de-cat at some point and that stage 2 map.

Well it's been my 30th birthday weekend, so all money has been from cards and presents - I made sure people knew I was going to sort the LCR so I have only had to put £100 of my own money in!!!

Hoping for it on Wednesday, went do today but need to cut the oem exhaust out and we didn't have the time in the end.

Big update at the weekend after Stage 1 and a very good Detail

Hoping to enjoy it though!

Rumble on tick over and comes into it's own up the rev range. Nice and subtle really but noticeable over standard.

I'm impressed as I was worried over a 'chavy' bellow.

Sounds close to my alfa GTA's V6 exhaust note but not the R32's tuned noise. VW just got that too nice

bet your glad you not got the mid box then, mine sounds like standard on tic and only a slight noise on the move...

Deffinate change in sound!

Just been for a spirited blast, noise is very calm but there, motorway cruising noise is excellent and dare I say it.... Feels alot better to drive.
