Well update time. Where do i start. She started first time quite as a mouse  :cool:

The jetex cat back is a fantastic piece of kit. Is 2.75" straight through to the tips. BUT it not as good a fit as it should of been. The tips were abit far to right meaning the hole we cut like a 4motion wasnt enough the tips banged on the chassis but even then it was 2mm off the rear spring!

Dad saved day by re positioning the hanging bracket on the box and with abit of adjusting it now sits as it should.

Noise wise as id expect. Lovley tone on idle. Not over loud inside. Under throttle nice spirts tone.

Forge dv as good as ever. Nice tishhhhh sound.

The induction set up looks fantastic. Heatshield finishes off lovley. Nice deep tone on throttle.

Car returned to me garage to finish final bits. To find the coil pack wiring was shot. So new loom fitted. What a pig thst was!!!. New aerial stem and seal fitted.

Koni suspension with h&r springs are spot on. Looks lowered but gives a smooth firm ride. Very happy with it.

3" custom front pipe booked 15th of feb. It will be 3" down to a flange with a flanged decat pipe. My oem cat will have flanges fitted to allow easy mot passing. Also means the system isnt a mixed bag of sizes. It will be 3"-2.75" that it.

Pics to follow over weekend
