it was hassle getting the exhaust fitted, had to take off my rear lights and bumper, then had to drop the axle to get the old exhaust off  :sad:

but it sounds the nuts now and after running a few tanks of optimax threw now and the new exhaust the car definatly feels much quicker  :cool:

EDIT: sorry about the poor pic

you have to trim a couple of the plastic fins but other than that should go straight on.

ah my mistake, thought you meant it wouldnt fit to the car. is it a bit of custom handywork on the exhaust then ? the jetex, blueflame and milltek ones all have the snakebend in to fit to a 4mo valance usually.

it was a bit of a bugger to fit and the pipes are quite big.. well the money i had for the valance is going on a de-badge grill instead so me happy lol :cool:

Flippin heck, how come, did you not have access to a grinder, as it's soooo much easier to cut the old one off, that is if you were not intending on using it again.
