hi m8
yea it roars when i put my foot flat to the floor and when u lay off the excellaration then floor it, it makes a dump valve kinda noise (pssssh)
which sounds wicked
nah i didnt tell my insurance because its not really a performance mod
and didnt really improve my top-end speed, just my accelaration slightly
the aerial is standard!
