Default total petrolhead

How does 3-4mpg and impending deafness from a straight through 5" exhaust and a 6" external wastegate pipe exiting right under the passenger footwell from my 549bhp Skyline GTS-t sound? Well that and the 20k spent on the car and £400 tyres which I can get through in an afternoons road driving lol.

Probably like this: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! - WHOOSH - POP! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

100% petrolhead, not only because I understood what all that means, but my score on the survey too.
