Its a different kinda sound MACK. I lasted a couple of weeks with the foam out of my sound generator before doing the same as you and putting it back - I found it too much, sort of a high pitched metallic scream isn't it.MACK wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2017 11:37 amInteresting to here what you guys thought of it. I heard Mike's car in person a few weeks back statically and it did sound good, but I have to admit it did worry me what it would be like on the road. I'm not into noise for noise's sake, I'm the guy who actually puts back in the sound generator foams, both of them!Marlon wrote: ↑Mon May 29, 2017 3:57 pm Passed its MOT
Also had oil changed - used Millers as recommended by Mr Wilks.
Update on the DLV mod:
I'm loving the extra sound Mike has released - plus the fact that this new modification has been done to my original back box. No need to rev the conkers off it now, its loud with minimum effort when you want it but I can still potter about without everyone turning around. At 80 on the motorway it is slightly louder but still no drone. Its made the driving experience even better

So Lady Marlon was looking at the car out of the window and said the silver roll hoops need to be painted black now that I've got the black theme going on
It was the push I needed as I've been humming and harring over this since last summer (I even had a Poll going at one point )
So I've done it - must say I'm very happy with the look

I was going to say something when I saw your pic with Mr Wilks the other week...but I just figured you hadn't got round to it yet.Marlon wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2017 4:45 pm So Lady Marlon was looking at the car out of the window and said the silver roll hoops need to be painted back now that I've got the black theme going on

Yes, Lady Marlon was right (well aren't they always)?
Black definitely looks better.

Did you remove the hoops? Or re colour in situ? I've removed a set and they were a right PITA!

I pained them in situ as I had also heard what a PITA they are to remove.
It took 5 coats and deft brush work, and I still have possibly a couple more coats to do in order to cover a few remaining brush strokes.

Not sure if I mentioned it to you previously, but love the look of those gloss style 32's mate. They suit the car. Nice progress thread man, enjoyable read and nice to see the path that you've taken. Keep up the good work
