Side exit looks good mate, what's the reason for welding the wishbones? Strength?

Cracking work, exhaust is very different, will it not melt your arch trims however  :undecided:

ive had a few people tell me that seam welsded wish bones are a lot strongerso i thought i would give it a go.but i didnt want them too solid so i stitch welded them instead so they are still sacrificial in a crash.

arch trims are far enough away not to be a problem.although they do look very close i havent had a problem yet.

yeah it does roar,its a bit too loud at the moment.
it needs another silencer fitting,just need to find one that can fit in the exhaust tunnel.

since i had a puncture in one of my wheels and my space saver finally giving up the ghost.i decide it was time to fit a matching set of wheels
there off a passat gt,were silver but it was boring so i decided to spray them orange 8)


not as nice as my old wheels but they will do till i get some new tires.
