I had a 55 plate (Jan 06) so just about 4.5 years!
Mine had a miltek resonated exhaust, it sounded awesome! Wish I still had it now

Yeah they used to have a lot of shows there, never noticed till my last month there too!
Wasn't untill an Aston went past, then multiple Ferrari's, Lotus's, Fast Fords, loads of cars infact. I had to stop running I was drolling so much.

They hold the Breakfast Club there every month, that's why
What's with the yellow flashing above the left exhaust in the fog light area? Is that the sun reflecting on the plastic?
Sound fruity

Its his reverse light. Have no idea why it flickers, but it only does it when revving at standstill 
My Mountune cat-back exhaust was fitted today. I went for a Mountune one because I didn't want anything too over the top, just an improvement in noise and aesthetics. The exhaust is actually made my Miltek but has Ford's backing so it doesn't interfere with the Ford warranty, and being a Ford approved item - it doesn't look bad at resale.
Chuffed to bits with this, there is very little difference (if any) at idle, or when pottering around, and when booting it, its just a touch louder with a much sportier tone.
You'll probably have to wait until 0:30 to hear anything, as the wind noise is pretty loud on the first attempt.
I'm also told it sounds even better from the outside (Video pending)

Not selling it anymore then?
Mate had a Milltek system on his Leon, after a few fitment issues it was really nice peice of kit, looked and sounded great, as it was only a cat back I doubt it did much for performance mind

Probably not - my problem is, I'm far too indecisive, but when push comes to shove, I just can't get rid of it - I think I'll have the same problem even when looking to upgrade.
There is little to no performance benefit, but it is 3" so its a step in the right direction for a fairly hefty performance upgrade (with downpipe and de/sports-cat).
