You should have a very good excuse for not driving a 20b for 2 years! :Giggle

Sounds awesome :D

Is putting 15000£ total in the FD + refurbishing the house, a good enough excuse? ;)

Hi Frank!

Afaik. Its a stock system from turbo to cat, and a RE-A catback system with 4 outlets. It packs a RE-A aftermarket ECU and the biggest custom IC you can fit.
What does your car sound like? more cruising, or more race? Im thinking of rebuilding a custom exhaust from turbo to catback to get that 20B sound really out there though :D

mine is on youtube as well but just on idle, I have a full custom stainless steel from the downpipe back, pre-cat removed and de-catted, the whole system has 2 small back boxes (well if you can call them boxes more like fat tubes)
it has a nice burble, I have not had a chance to rev it that high at the moment due to the re-build but it seems quite sporty but not over loud
 
go to youtube and mine is the red 20b about 5 vids down from your\'s if you filter by upload date
