Gruppe M and Spoon Catback...

[Ash_EP3]

Right guys,

Soon I will be purchasing a spoon cat-back (b pipe and n1) from a friend of mine. I already have a gruppe M which I am pleased with...

2 Questions:

1. What is the spoon like for everyday driving?

I've heard some people can't bare how loud it is and some have removed it in a few weeks! I've watched a few vids on youtube and it doesn't seem too loud providing you don't "tec" it everywhere.... I had an exhaust system on my old car and don't mind a bit of noise but nothing too excessive!

2. What gains am I looking @?

This is more in regards to power - obviously there will be more noise but what kinda power should I be running with both the Gruppe M and the Spoon Catback...? (not expecting anything major...)

Thanks in advance!!

It's obviously a lot louder over stock, but I find it fine for the daily drive. Talking to passengers isn't too much a problem either.

Gains won't anything mind blowing as it's a N/A Car after all, so expect to see 10bhp gains tops without a remap. That's being generous too.

the spoon catback is fine for everyday driving. i'm running mine with a mani also, i've heard louder. like Jermal said you won't see much in gains untill remapped.

I just don't want to buy an exhaust system which is too loud!!! a little loud is ok though!

The only reported issues with the Spoon N1 is that its loud and droney on teh motorway, from what I have heard.

Its loud loud with a header though.

Saying that though Jermal drives around with one on his DC5 and says its fine.

You have gone for a loud exhaust though.

I've got the Gruppe M and Spoon N1 and B-pipe on my Milano 30th. I don't find it too bad on the motorway, it's noisy when you start the car from cold but it doesn't bother me on the motorway.
