Currently sitting in the River spring cafe Salisbury waiting patiently for my exhaust fitment to be completed.
I would fit it myself but considering I'm having a sports cat put in, I need it welded to the existing down pipe as I'm not buying one of their manifold setups lol.
Also buying one of their cat back systems..

Will give a full review and photos to be expected later today.


Almost s**t myself at the price however, was naive to think that £500 odd was all I'd pay today, but forgot that VAT has to be added onto that lol!
So with a kind funds boost from my wonderful Gf here, I'm finally making the amount of £695 for the whole system.

Thumbs up

I hope you're happy with it and that it lasts well, £700 for an exhaust is rather steep! LOL

Mick is a top bloke though. As with many small business's cash is your friend.

Need to get myself a stainless 4-2-1 off him at some point.

    Good point Dan...although I did spend a lot of that when these cars were still worth a good few grand. Yes

    I guess it depends on what you want to spend, I spent about £400 on my exhaust system (including a decat) but that was back in 2004 when the car was worth 8k ish. I'm not sure I'd spend that these days though, as unfortunately the cars seem to be worth peanuts. Sad

    Sorry for the late reply, I had no internet at home, so couldn't upload anything properly via mobile.

    A couple of videos for you, rather nice sound so I'm happy. Smile
    I do have one more to upload but I'll put that on my project thread soon enough.
