I leave around the same time some mornings and always think about the neighbours, they are fortunate I kept the down pipe standard and fitted a Milltek. I'd love some more noise from mine though, maybe one day, when I loose my nice lad streak.

Fair play, not sure how loud this will be as it appears to have a resonator on the center pipe, I only have a one piece high flow down cat so not fully de-catted 👍

I'm sure even my stock exhaust is probably disturbing my neighbours as our parking is underground and the sound reverbs nicely. And then there's the office underground car park where every time I reverse out someone's Peugeot has a fit and starts alarming, lol.

Not sure I want to go through the red tape of trying to get an exhaust mod through the first control in four years. They're hot on a car's conformity here - I couldn't legally put 18" rims on my 2003 WRX until I got a certificate showing they were suitable for the car and then have it inspected so the grey card could be amended.

It's also to do with TUV certification and insurance, as it would invalidate any claims I made if the part was found to be the cause. It was the same for the rear lights I changed, had to be E certified. Could never find any aftermarket front lights that I liked and were still certified

To be honest I kind of agree with it as it attempts to keep cars safe and properly maintained. For example, I rarely see a soot belching diesel vehicle with Luxembourg plates.
