Whilst in America the other week I found some GM tuning equipement that the shop said would shortly be coming across the pond for Vauxhall's. It was called a rallye noiser and fitted to the engine in much the same way as a std bolt on airfilter upgrade does, but gave two distinct differences.
1)Power increases were much larger (20bhp)
2)They created the sound that Rallye cars make under deceleration, the squeeky blipping sound you can hear.
Has anyone seen/heard of such items in the UK yet, if so what were the prices (GM vehicles were about $420) and could you let me know the wherebouts.

Squeeky blipping i thought was the brakes, exhaust popping, trees swinging back into place

I've heard of these before - they're not widely talked about in the US as their tuning scene is more about cc's than ours.
I think they work in conjunction with an ECU upgrade - similar to the inlet manifold mod for the 1.4/1.6 16v engines, but available to all (and can be used WITH the Mantzel inlet manifolds!).

yeah its the antilag and straight through exhausts which make the bang and pops.
the straight cut gearbox which makes the whinning noise
noway that an airfilter could possibly make that noise.
