It sounds ridiculous it sounds like you have some mechanical failure

Lewis, it is very Loud....... But i kind of like it! but not sure if i could live with it every day

You should let someone else drive it past, then you can hear for yourself. Whats it like in the cabin?

Sounds great inside the cabin......! Especially when you have your foot flat on the loud pedal.

Only thing I don't like about it, is it sounds kinda flat when I'm pullin off at low revs.

I know its very loud outside as I see people a few hundred yards down the road turn round

But don't want it to sound broken like Shoomer thinks it is

Problem is mate, that it's just a fairly humdrum 4 cylinder. It's never gonna sound as layered or musical as a 6,8 or 12, simply because it can't. With a mega loud exhaust on a 4-pot it just sounds like a chav-racer. The Stage 2 on Elaine's is about as loud as I'd personally go and I'm sure people will think that sounds like a Saxo with a cherry bomb before they see it...

All IMO of course and it's your money.

I've always had a fear that mines (stage 2 ) sounds a bit chavtastic , but most folk hearing it at full chat say otherwise ...low revs is defo a bit nova though...

Yup - revs help. Not many novas can do 8KRPM (well, not for long anyway...

) Does sound spine-tingling on 2nd cam from outside. Reversing out the drive is the low-point.

Think I may have seen you today at about 5:45 outside the zoo. Did sound pretty noisy but definitely in a good way!

Yes hello

I was in the middle of thinking how bad a night it was and hope no other Lotus owners were out in it....

Car looked good
