Hi Peanut - I thought that it didn't look or sound like the standard exhaust (like my wife's). Was it very expensive?

Cost me just over 200 quid with next day delivery off ebay (it was a make me an offer auction).

It's not the best fit in the world (it took 4 guys over an hour to get it sitting right) but the quality is beyond what I expected for the price. It's not too loud either which is nice! biggrin

There are plenty of more expensive exhausts out there (Racing beat, borla, HKS etc) but I can't fault mine for VFM

I've had a bit of a thought about a route change for next time.

After we bimbled about around Frenchay and Winterbourne we formed up at the Hambrook lights and hung a right to go to the M32. How about going straight over the lights instead and along past Frenchay hospital?

You get to the lights were you can turn right for UWE we could go straight here, go down the hill to the roundabout at the bottom there and back up the other side - there are very high walls on either side and its really echo-y, plus when you get to the set of lights to rejoin the M32 you are under the motorway for a long period creating another tunnel effect.

Just an idea smile

When ever anyone wants to do one.

I've still got all the files etc, so would only be a case of editing them this time rather than starting everything from scratch
