Re: The Cold Start Thread.
I would like to petition for the posting of e-start vids in place of cold-start efforts.

Re: The Cold Start Thread.
Maybe you should submit a request to the original poster of this thread to start a poll?

So we agree that apart from a V8 or V12 everything else sounds shit when cold. Good.
How about not having a sig at all?

Yes I suggest people start putting their phones inside the exhaust for maximum aural accuracy.

Cant even hear it idle over the back ground noise. I’ve heard Audi R8 v10 start up and it sounds quite diesel like, M5/6 v10 sound quite diesel like. Dodge Viper on start up actually sounds like a tractor.

I'm keeping my powder dry for when I've got the centre silencer bypass fitted saturday week. Rest assured footage will follow.
If you really cannot wait, however, it will essentially be this set up (though obviously without the 'blaady 'ell's as I'm not a cockney):
