Its lost some torque but certainly powers up through the revs after 3.5k. Just ask Daz about the noise.

Do you think the aluminium tube makes any difference on the restriction?

Whats does it sound like?

Her..Humpf! Stainless steel tubing!

Compared to the original tube its alot better. The fiat tube actually had a restrictor in it which helps torque but not top end.

Stainless steel sounds nice.

The one ive ordered is only aluminium

Does a certain amount of restriction add torque then or is it more complicated then that?

More complicated
