Either way, it was money well spent. The car sounds like a proper sports car now. Every morning when I walk outside and sit in my car and hit the key.. and my baby rumbles to life with a nice staccato burble - it puts me in a good mood.

Some folks don't like the way a cold start sounds. For me it is bliss. When an engine is cold it almost sounds angry. Angry like I woke it up to early. But after a few minutes she is warm and willing... sorta like my wife. Sometimes.

You sir must be a writer, the way you write is engaging.
