I have zero's now and they sound great, resonance not to bad either not much louder than the origanals inside the car
Well, after all this time, I finally decided to order zero exhaust from Kevin.
I can not wait to install them and hear the difference compared to the original exhaust (but have to wait 4/5 weeks)

A wise decision Kevin is a Master in the art of of Pipe bending ❗️He uses the very best quality Stainless Steel Etc , and his Welding skills are supreme.
What ..SOUND LEVEL ..did you go for ❓
Yes I don't think I'll be disappointed. For the sound level he just told me : "I only make the Zero Loud Quads", so I understood no sound level option ?
Anyway I told him that the car also serves me to take the kids on vacation so nothing TOO much loud (but it's relative think).

I had Kevin do me a pair of “ specials “ ..straight througs..empty boxes ..VERY Loud.
If you took the kids on vacation..with my Zero’s bolted on....the child protection squad would be waiting for you on your return ...
Whatever you may think (or not) about the effect that noise pollution has on the environment and the rest of society, the legal noise level in the EU, UK included, is 82 decibels, +/- zero (excuse the pun). Notwithstanding that, if the noise levels created as a result of modification or whatever, exceeds that of the original at type approval, then that's not allowed under law either.
Since the vehicle is technically not road-legal then, it probably renders your insurance invalid too.
Do you really want to go that road?
.... discuss (but quietly please !).

Vehicle noise limits
There are limits to the amount of noise that vehicles can make on public roads. This applies to all types of vehicles.
In general, larger vehicles with bigger engines are able to make more noise.
It doesn't actually give the limit on the UK Government site, just says there is one
Edit: Doh, just realised Remi is in France anyway
