Took me a long time to get used to my new exhaust, BIG difference compared to stock.

pretty common so try and find someone local and go for a ride with the top down before buying.

You say a BIG difference compared to stock...I take it you mean noise?

Yes, I found it too loud after fitting and seriously considered taking it off for a while, had planned to have a run out in someone's car before buying but didn't happen & regretted it at the time.

I'm used to it now, they take a little while to run in but there are still times when the drone and odd  sort of reverb in the cabin bother me. If you can find one I think the TTE is a better balance, cobra just seems to be all about noise.

getting it hanging straight can be tricky & build quality needs some work too IMO.
