I was afraid that I had an airleak so went in again to re-check everything.

Yes, now if I can actually get some excitement from the exhaust note, that'll be great. Ah well, at least now I have the intake noise to entertain me.
Yes ... that's it! This is due to noise abatement in some countries ... it does add a bit of "fun" to the sound when removed. There is a place in Montreal, Canada that sells a sports exhaust for about $850 US (maxspeed-motorsports) that folks have recommended. I'm looking at getting this muffler for mine soon.
