The MV's sound fantastic.

A mate and I were running through tunnels in Germany last month side by side and they sound brilliant. MV Sport and the Blueflame almost sounded exactly the same to be honest. Both great products.

Yes, we'd just left and were heading into Stuttgart to go to Porsche.

I haven't got any clips of sound, but I may try and get one tomorrow as I have some work to do on the car in the morning.

I think it was about £900 for whole thing on a group buy running on the forum. Call Mike and tell him you are from ASN and will he offer the forum offer deal (I think it ran out in Feb 2010).

It sounds better them OEM inside and not boomy at all (with OEM VOTEX rear section), but from the inside it doesn't sound that amazing.
However if you hear it from the outside its great . If your going thru a tunnel or accelerating side by side so you get the reflection it sounds greatt. But as in other Stg2 S3s i've been in from the driver's seat the sounds a bit dissapointing.
Seeb (Haz1), Davie's, another MTM S3 and mine all sound great when following.
My votex rear silencer adds quite a lot more bass to the sound as well, and just muffles the snap-crackle on overrun slightly.

It's definately worth it for the performance especially when run with an induction kit too, if you go for the MV one its great value, although note it is 2.75 and not 3'' diameter.
