Things are never straightforward :grin:

How are you finding the new exhaust? I'm ditching my 3" tomorrow as well :whistle:

Does the shifter make much of a difference?

Yeah shifter does make a lot of difference mate, just need to adjust it slightly so it's a bit easier to find 2nd lol

The exhaust is that quiet I can't even hear it running from in the car sometimes. What you going for instead mate?

No, just wondering if it suffered the k03 inevitable cracking lol.

 :grin: Bet that makes a nice change!

I've got a non-resonated Milltek cat back, going to get a reducer and stick with the 3" downpipe and decat. If that's still too loud I'll get a resonated milltek centre box as well.

Anything that involves touching the turbo never class as a quick job.. most of the turbo's i have removed have always pulled studs out or sheared them.. Good work as ever though mate..

The downpipe hadn't been on long (3 months) so I thought I'd be ok lol
