Had mine done a few months back, mine is the ACT version. The difference is noticeable, it clearly pulls better than before. Also had overrun crackle added with gives off some nice pops. Overall I'd say it is worth doing.

Thanks for the reply, is the MPG better?

Also what would you estimate the 0-60 to be now it’s had the upgrade?

Cheers

Which company was this with?
Have you got the standard exhaust or does it have to be aftermarket to hear the crackles? have you got a vid?
cheers

It is slightly, depends how you drive.
0 - 60, haven't had chance to test it but it is defiantly faster than before.

JBS in Chesterfield, and I have both centre and rear silencer's deleted. Not sure you'd hear it as much with a standard system

It was £240 all in, including several dyno runs. They had an offer on at the time though. They do currently have a 40% off offer on according to their facebook page so worth checking it out

What figures did you get to in the end? i looked on their website but it doesn't show figures just mentions it's a Custom Code remap

I had mine done a few weeks ago (Viezu remap) It pulls really well through all the gears, very noticeable over stock. The most noticeable difference is the throttle response, foot down and your off. I thought it was decent before the remap, but it's even more enjoyable to drive now. Worth every penny !

They do have a website http://www.jbsautodesigns.co.uk
I've attached a screenshot of the offer off their facebook page to the post
