Then it will fail an mot, and u can be done by plod, and it sounds like the exhaust is blowing!!. Get a bolt on filter if possible(what car is it+year) this will give u an induction noise..

big back box and small bore centre section, esp on x-flow engine, sounds worse than poo. Fork out for a decent system, custom made or Magnex, Scorpion, etc.

Don't pay less than £200 and expect it to sound good, but pay a bit more and it will :wink:

What about a windowcleaner injection??

Drill a little hole in your exhaust. Then fit the hose from the sprayers onto the exhaustpipe.
Then comes the funny part.

Start your engine and cruise a few blocks. If the engine is warm pour a little liquid in the exhaust pipe.......
No sound but a massive SMOKECLOUD is the result!! (just like 007) :grin: :grin:
Now you have your own Q-modded fezzy!

I've got a Stateside Cherry Bomb & it sounds sweet as a nut. Only cost me £25 for the back box then i had to buy two tail pipe trims & a rather large bracket to join it all together. Al together it cost me about £50. Go to http://www.Motorspeed.co.uk - there in Scotland but mine took less than a week to deliver!!!! Very good quality aswell!!!

Is this any help to you??? :???:
