2 lengths needed, about 0.8m long each. Stainless or mild steel. 2 1/4" or 57.1mm diameter.

Hoping to pick some up tomorrow. I'm driving from Ascot to Stoke-on-trent so can pick up anywhere on the way.

Me neither thumbup - Kiwi, think you should bring an obligatory pair of ear defenders for whoever is lucky enough to be directly 'downwind' of you on the next Hoon / TR when its fitted. Either that or a signed disclaimer saying any momentary/permanent deafness caused is not attributable to you!

Nice one Fraser. Will be good to compare this to the sound of you car from the South Coast run/Sunday. I do believe it will sound incredible though yes
