I remapped (took to a specialist) a SEAT Leon FR (diesel - 170 TD) which gave decent performance gains after the job was done (took it over 200bhp). It was addictive.
UNTIL it went in to SEAT for a regular service, then while connecting it to their "computer" they performed an ECU update (to ensure car was up-to-date) and wiped my Remap! I was adamant it was running "slower" after it came out.
First ride this morning after fitting the exhaust. Definitely louder, but I wouldn't say its excessive (over the noise of the traffic).
Revving, and hard on the throttle, yes, you do hear it much more - also a bit of popping under heavy engine braking.
Would say though, that riding off from home at a relatively quiet 7am, it probably did attract some attention from the neighbours! :rolleyes
