torkell | My car has a shiny new exhaust!

And it's a lot quieter, to the point where I fluffed the first few gear changes driving back from Halfords (that answers the question of whether I drive based on sound or not). Thinking back the exhaust has probably been blowing slightly for a while as I'm sure it was louder last week even before I discovered LOUD MODE.

The only downside is being an Alfa it cost me £575 to get it replaced - though that price did at least include VAT and labour.
