Really, all I can say about the stromung is good.
It's does kinda shack my house a bit at idle, but that to me is an extra
alarm system.

Half a year ago I got bagged for speeding ( yeah big surprise) and due to my
starter pucking that weekend, I could not shut the car down will I awaited
my latest "Road Tax"...
To make a short storey even shorter, the doughnut eating opps,,, I mean cop
had a REAL good listen to the exhaust at idle.
He didn't ticket me for it, but I could see in his face he wanted to. I just
don't think it's quite loud enough.
