I have to be honest i really like my NC but after i visited BBR and had them fit their super 185 kit (cat and GT box) I think I’m in love with the damn thing 
Just listen to how it sounds

Crickey! That sounds a lot louder than my BBR Super 220 ND.

Honestly it not that bad its perfect and i love the engine bubbling.
Maybe the recording is a bit amplified because it was night and there wasn’t much ambient noise to interfere.
I think one of the young lads that works at BBR (maybe it was a customer car) had the race end box instead of the GT - and that was definitely louder 
sounds nice under power.
also sounds nice n quiet on tick over!
but can it be driven quietly across a housing estate at 11 pm?
Yup. Most definitely. Honestly its not bad at all. You only hear it when you put your foot down a tiny bit.

I have the BBR NC 200 on mine, cat-less manifold and the super-sports (i.e. louder) back box on mine - basically a setup a lot of people seem to say is not liveable with day to day (I beg to differ!!).
Yours on full throttle past about 3-4k sounds very similar to mine, but much more muted off throttle and lower revs - more civilised when not gunning it!
Seems with either exhaust, you get a lovely encouraging sound and a clear additional 40 (imaginary!) bhp!

186.9 @ 7350 rpm & 156 lb ft @ 4300 rpm 
Neil is the master of tuning mate 
But yes its sounds its got a lot more power in its belly - tbh more than enough for me (for now)
Mines got a similar sound on hard acceleration, has a more muted tone whilst just pootling along.
Car has been tuned to 185 with the manifold changed. It’s got a different back box from standard, haven’t a clue what make but thanks to Geoff the last owner of the car he agreed the leave it on.

The OP…yours sounds a lot like my NC1 which has an IL 4-1 decat mani into a custom stainless mid pipe with 200 cell cat ending in a Cobra Road back box. I love it
