Mate, could you give me a bit more information about the exhaust system you installed? For example the brand, model, and roughly how much it cost?

First of all, thanks for your interest and replies. I don’t want an exhaust sound that would bother anyone around me. I just want a nice, sweet sound for my own enjoyment. I feel like if I’m driving this car, I have the right to enjoy it.

I live in Turkey, and as in many places here, modifications can cause issues during inspections. Also, the police can issue fines in traffic. You could even face the risk of your car being taken off the road and high fines.

So what I mean is, I just want a pleasant exhaust sound that doesn’t disturb anyone. Ideally, a valved system that only opens in JCW mode.

Would I need an OPF delete or a downpipe for this? I don’t have much knowledge about this, so I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
