i've got the genuine xpower one and its just right...not too loud but hey, you know its there...i stand outside and listen to the doris drive off when she goes out in the z just to hear it !!
i even turn the head off when i'm out for a ragaround so i can fully appreciate that v6 growl and the xpower burble....god i'm a sad git....

I have the same exhaust. At low revs it burbles nicely. Was nicely quiet in the background on a recent trip to Birmingham. Everyone comments how nice it sounds.
Expect no more than 2 -5 bhp if you are very very lucky.

yea i have a custom cat back dual system on mine is much louder at the lower revs and normally quietens down as the revs climb still loud thou. dont know if anyones ever noticed but if when you are driving if you dip the accelerater so that you are not speeding up or slowing down just dipped a little it goes well quiet dont know why but it does always help wen u have a head ache lol. and you dont get major gains from exhausts as far as i know.

Any change is good over the OE one, as it is so lame. At least it fits the trim now and gives a decent sound.

Looks good, I have the same backbox, sounds just right, cant help put press that loud pedal a bit more, and really enjoy going through the tunnels in North Wales when I go each weekend...

I would like a new exhaust nt there is just something that i don't like about that Xpower one you have. I think it could be the thickness as it's rolled inwards...
