You should take the person you got it from out a blast to see what they think of their old car

OK, so the final bits have been sorted, I say final, as in, thats all I'm doing to the car now...
Got to Ashleys nice and early this morning, along with ben21 from VS, and left one car at a time, and went for a spin in whosever wasn't in there
As you can see, I have had replaced the 3" diameter, 12" long bullet middle box, for a 4.5" diameter, 16" middle silencer, followed by a 3.5" diameter 16" silencer one after another.
John welding up the backbox
Full undercar shot, pretty cool to see it all in one shot
Where the standard shifter would have been, but now the bigger box is here
Under engine bay shot, look! looook! orange "motorsport" rack bushes
Under the rear with new suspension in shot, ready for backbox to be put on
and finally, replaced the 4" diameter, round, 12" back box, for a 7" x 4" oval 16" backbox
Fantastic result, quality product once again from John himself, now it seriously whispers along and works well in conjunction with the airbox.
All you hear now is whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine from the gearbox... mega happy... no noise limits will be a problem now... not even Bedford should I decide to go back
Awesome stuff, looks cool
The systems are decent quality, John made the manifold and system i currently have on my car

Olly i like them center section boxes, very good, i know it's function over fanciness,but couldn't you have got the tail pipe on the left of the box to come out the cut out of the bumper?
I might get another box added and change my back box/tail pipe as it's HUGE!
Scott
The box we used had a centre exit on the box for the tailpipe, with using such a big backbox to get it as quiet as possible, we needed to use a 16incher, which mean it couldn't come across that much.
To be honest, it really really doesn't bother me in the slightest
No i gatherd that mate,
Scott
see what you mean the exhaust is a work of art!! looks like a very good job done there.I also am loving the handles too olz,i cant believe they both weigh less than one original handle either.
aye, tis my favourite mod so far :D
