Great looking project, i will be keeping an eye on this one.
Welds weren't that pretty, blew a few holes where I may have worked the ends a little too thin, but meh it's on:

Welds cleaned up and whole lot painted in VHT paint:

Fancied trying a silicone-based sealer for the system joins, opposed to exhaust sealers that dry and go brittle. Picked up some Loctite 5920 with a high temperature resistance (275C continuous):

Fitted it up - took about 3 attempts and a lot of hammer action to get it fitting well. Kept hitting the fuel tank rear edge etc. But it's on, stealth tailpipe:

And total of 3 boxes so hopefully should be quite quiet:

Good work.
Are you hoping have this out in the summer?
I'm aiming to have it on-the-road for April this year, hopefully can meet this deadline
Sound :)
I may even have a drive over to bad 'ass Notts to see it :p
looking good bud !! very snug to the tank
You're welcome round any time Adam :)
Yeah its snug to the tank, if I wobble it by hand it doesn't touch tho and it's on very hard poly mounts so hopefully be ok. Worth putting some heat-reflective tape on the tank to protect it maybe?
the one i had on the jyj was very close too but i never botherd , or mabe rap that part ?? i dont know lol
thinking About it rapping it sounds stupied
Wrapping it may make it touch lol Might look in to that though
Mine sits that close and it doesnt tap on the tank, and its on original mounts.
