A lot of the time it is trial and error with mods....
dont forget this is only in HK that not 100% guarantee. al they what is to make money and no after service.
it is very rare with small shops
I bet it is 100% in UK or US.
your young and love music.
when you have kids that's a different story.
most of us like to hear the sound of our engine pushing to 6500rpm+

I dont agree with you on the trial and error with mods.... unless you like to be the white mice and I dont.
I do alot of research before I will buy the stuff, this is what the forum is for.
Like the 3 bars it took me and Keith 2 year before we buy it and it was well worth it.

I am confused....
what I mean is if I had loads of $$ then I can try out most of the mods and full mod the engines like they have and have less nosie coming out.
but I dont have 20k to mod the engine so it will have to be the pipe to get the extra hp

Yes, it is slightly bumpy than the stock, but it is the most comfort setup compared with others.
You have to give up some ride quality for the sport, i am she will get used to it

i will have a less aggressive kit put on soon.
i will put up the photos soon anyway of the aggressive kit.
Maybe the a SONG SONG BILL would use it, but i am just SONG Bill right now.........

sounds like you have one of those "i can't afford to mod" panic attacks


but you have 2 real cars and a nice camera.........
no money????? don't give us that shiite Captain, you're the hidden billionaire here!
but it's a


shame you can' get real "men's" wheels, no trial and error needed there!!!!

Remus is a real big company with sound rooms to do R&D, they do racing etc,.granted they have too many items but they are not some Mickey Mouse brand eg. "RIP " brand made in a shed by some bozos from some pipes found in the scrapyard, with "proven power gains" hell , taking off the cats or putting a x pipe will increase the power on any car........but make it illegal with the excessive permanent sound and emmissions.
Remus are legal in normal use (and type testing)and only when hard pressed will the sound be louder than allowed, and they fit perfectly.
For quality of welds, the Arqray are the tops!!!!!! it puts my VATH to shame, though my VATH has a bigger
repetoire of sounds depending on the throttle and gear and temperature(the hotter the more hardcore)

Lets see at our next ND, how about tomorrow night???
