It basically translates to "I just bought this, I'm so cool don't you think?"

The irony is, they can't be used for racing as they are too loud although there isn't a 'set' noise limit for road use. I have a sportex system and have the mid and back boxes and it's still quite loud although does pass scrutineering.


I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

My guess, like most other normal people is that he has ordered and is excited and wants to try and imagine what its going to be like.
Not. "Hi I just ordered this but then realised im a fucking dick and didn't ask peoples opinions on something I would have bought regardless of what they say"
