looked over the exhaust today, turns out from the midbox it's completely snapped off  :grin: does sound pretty cool, drove birmingham earlier to pick an exhaust for a friend, drove down a narrow road and set off a few car alarms, also come next weekend it is going lower on the back so it just sits on the arches, just need more power (if anyone knows any info on how easy it is to drop a tdi engine into it please message me, would be of great help!)

Fill it up and give us a brim-to-brim (proper!) MPG figure.

Come on - MPG-off with my TDI
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Well 20 pound has just got me 100 mile, so I don't think I'd win, plus I don't have around £80 odd to fill it, most of my miles are around town so pretty poor on fuel  :grin:

So you've gone from slow and economical to just plain slow.
