Default scorpion exhaust

Is this one of the loudest on the market lol?
whats the best performance exhaust that makes the least noise?

i've got i thinka 3" rounded scorpion exhaust and its far too loud imo.

what does everyone else use?

yea she is running spot on now, just needs a set up and a little bit of electrical help.

just cant stand the drone from outside the car when its on idle or inside the car for that matter.

dont mind it being loud under load and up the rev's etc. just not on my driveway pissing the neighbours off lol

i've only got dip beam and Full beams, no main beam, i checked the bulbs and as much of the loom as possible, all the fuses seem ok [ altho i've jumped 2] so im thinking either earth or fusebox is fubar

the clock surely must be an earthing prob somewhere

I fucking hate trying to find electric probs cos the problem might not be anywhere near where the problem is showing its head ( if that makes sense)

safechav on here is always spot on with electric probs mate
