Well, after having the car at the garage for a few days (for the first ever job ive not done myself i hate to add!) im getting close to having her back...

Anyhow, the manifolds are now fixed with new flanges, and have been repaired but still tick somewhere near the top...banghead

The guy called me last night as the section i got from darren (not blaming you at all chief!) for somereason doesnt fit! Problem is that the old one was a pain to get off (wasnt joined over the drive shaft so only one piece) so he chopped it up, and hence cant put it back on!

Ive only heard it with the centre box on and no rear section but its really quiet.censored censored censoredI loved my old system so much but it was totally shagged and needed changing...

looks like ive spent a fortune and lost one of the best aspects of the car....grumpy

Sympathy vote over...

Hey Paul,

Looks like it...i havent got it back but from what ive heard so far its no where near what i was! Im so gutted...

Ive only heard it with the centre section on (as i no rear section) and it sounded so different...

It sounded 'Nice' but not raw, poppy, bangey like it used to...

All i can hope for is all the packing to come out! I knew i should have gone for straight through!!!!

Yes , straight through is best , and also have a little silencer to put in for MOT . The only problem is I will be deaf soon !

Matt it wont fit a standard system as it was custom made, Blaine has the other half you could talk to him but I dont think he will let it go !! Time to get the angle grinder and welder out Matt

Right gents!

Chopping, welding, bolting, drinking beer, eating curry and some swearwords all together = a nice new exhaust!

Good news is that after almost 5 mile, all the packing has come out and its popping and banging like never before!

WOO HOO!!!
