If you fitted it correctly, then i would say yes to.

Dont no about getting more raspier and popping more often, you only got a 1.1. It may do after the exhaust is 'bedded' in a little :y:

looks alright to me mine sticks out quite far to, is it connected the supersprint centre section to? or OE?

If you want more rasp you'll need a manifold, decat & straight through pipe. Sounds like you've just fitted the backbox with the standard exhaust in place?

I dont have a supersprint on mine, a guy from Edinburgh bought one and i had a quick shot with it on my car & it was very loud & very raspy! That was with a 4-2-1 manifold and the straight through pipe & supersprint backbox from Kam!

Cutting the exhaust tip wont change the tone much, if at all!

On topic..

Can't see why cutting an inch off the end would have any bad effect on the exhaust.

Going to have to change your avatar now, exciting times.

will have no effect cutting off an inch from the tip.

With the o/e centre and manifold its never going to sound like a rally car. Give it a little time to bed in and it will get better

if it sitcks out to far from the car it can be seen as a hazzard to pedestrians
