It has to be my favourite site I have to say.

Back to yer 6.9, it sounds rather quiet.  Maybe the radio drowns it out but must be fun to stretch it's legs on dual carriageway.  I haven't done that in my 350 for 5yrs I think.

I remember that video...

It is pretty quiet, but they are only at 2500 rpm or so cruising at 110km/h. There is a clip of me driving my 6.9 along the same highway at night and it is somewhat louder, although mine always sounds a bit like a high-powered agricultural implement!

I dont like loud exhausts, infact i hate them. Call me an old fart if you will but i prefer silence these days.

Oh, and thats 6pr blaring on the radio too. Talk back radio all the way for me.
