I go in monday to get version 1 installed and was hoping someone could give me a credible answer. Thanks in advance!

1. to make a bubbling sound; bubble.
There are probably some videos posted that demonstrate the sound. But let's say you are driving your 6 speed down the street in second gear with your foot on the throttle, keeping it at the same revs. When you lift off the throttle, you will hear the bubbling sound from the exhaust. Kinda like "burble-pop-burble-littlepop-burble-burble-burble", for just under one second. You can make it repeat by lightly tapping on the throttle.

My car burbled prior to the PPK but totally at random and very seldom. With the PPK it never fails to happen in virtually any gear, at any speed in which I can hear it over the wind. I have to say though that with the top up, I can barely hear it at all.
