But was it worth it?

Hopefully final purchase for a while. Certainly the last one before the Bathurst trip...

And this one? A muffler (Backbox for the Brits out there, and it sounds better anyway) and some gear selector boots'n'stuff.

So the exhaust...

I bought this

PS4 Controller for scale, much bigger tip it seems

Removal of the old one was a ten-minute job once I realised a touch of oil on the rubbers made them slippery. Will save this for spares if there's a problem with the other one.

New one, by comparison, much smaller box playing host to a much larger tip. Vicar...

Fitted. Looks lovely.

So the sound? Well I think I can hear a bit more bass. More throaty at normal speeds. At license testing speeds? Dunno, the mad induction noise is far louder. I think it's all a bit more intense. Certainly giving it beans is great.

Was it worth it?

That's the $500 question. I think probably. It's made the car sound a bit more grown up, and I'm sure as the baffles lose a bit of their brand new magic it'll get a bit more growly. But, if I'd known it would sound as it does alongside the induction kit I think I'd maybe have waited. LOL. No, no I wouldn't, I wanted it so I got it!
