As for sports exhaust sound I'm not sure [ sounds almost as if one of the mufflers have rusted though ] but for the crankling sound, did you mean crackling sound? might need to edit your post a bit there mate, a little hard to follow.

Yes the CAS will make a difference to how it feels... especially if it was totally shot before.

If you run it up to 4krpm in park... the crackle will most likely be excess fuel landing in the exhaust and detonating. It's entirely possible it was running a little rich with a bung CAS so give it a tank or two to sort itself out and see how it runs then.

Heh nah.. just remember that anything you do to your car takes about a tank of petrol for the ecu to learn... you begin to stress if its still stuffed then :p

That will be the fuel pump - it's located inside the fuel tank. It primes itself when you turn the ignition on, and keeps running while the engine is running. The fuel pump will make some noise in standard operation and that is totally normal. But it does get worse as the pump wears, and particularly if it sucks in the crap at the bottom of the fuel tank or even if you get a bad batch of fuel. Eventually the pump will seize (and the car will come to an abrupt halt) but it can take a long time to do that. i.e. In my VS Stato it took 25,000km from the time the noise from the pump got loud until it was on its last legs.

A couple of questions for you: how low do get on fuel before filling up and can you hear the noise in the cabin with the doors closed?
