Now that's clever... to be in two places at the one time

It does sound better though, less rattle. Actually did i read somewhere that the centre silencer was at prototype stage?

Not recommended unless you trust everyone who has access to the carpark, it wouldn't take anymore than a minute for someone to smash the window, get in and drive off! Your insurance company would most likely not pay out too.

Isn't that forbidden these days in the UK too?
Anyway, it's not the best for your engine. The engine is warming up slower than when you drive it. Just my opinion.

Today I heard my car's Wizard exhaust, on full song, for the 1st time. I gave a loan of it to a good friend for the day. He took off up the road & I could hear every gear change he made for approx 1 mile. Makes me smile even now thinking of it

Bro do you have any 'rattle' at about 3000rpm? I am seriously considering one of these mufflers for my next mod, the remus 'bass' is not doing it for me any more...

Mine would be the same setup as yours if I did, cf2-unequal-maincat-wizard...is why I ask (would like to keep the small silencer if possible) I think I posted this before

Hey, do it, you will not be disapointed. I love it all the way through the rev range from 2k, but thats just my opinion. The other up side is, it is incredibly well made

Do any of you guys run these systems on a daily basis. Is the sound bearable and easy to live with because I drive around town a lot but would love this system.

The Wizrdovoz cat back system is completely tolerable for everyday use. In fact it's so well designed you can barely hear it at motorway speeds with the windows up. Can't comment on how loud the decatted versions are but am probably going to see spbd2010's car tomorrow so will have an idea.

Totally recommended.

With decat manifolds and stainless front pipes it is louder, but we are working on ways to quieten it down. We've already fitted a quarter wave pipe on Silvervalver's 147 GTA which knocked off around 10dB. We're working on a silenced centre section at the moment as well, which should bring the volume down to normal levels and hopefully with a nicer note too.

The quarter wave really did make a difference. It is still bloody loud (yet awsome ) at the top end but there are a few odd noises at lower revs when trying to drive normally which I think some more silencing will sort. It may well be some of those noises ate caused by the equal pipes I have as opposed to the wizards front pipes.

I have rowing training in the morning but I will still find the time to put a sponge across the paintwork. Curses this hose pipe ban!
