You reckon this would do mate?

I have "found" some bolts with locking nuts and spring washers at work today so that's not a problem, I was going to use a gen turbo to manifold gasket anyways, the ones supplied look proper nasty lol

I'm using some high temp silicone on all the joints but a tack won't hurt, cheers for the advice mate

The centre bulge doesn't look like it's actually a silencer so if it's too loud I might get one added at a later date (depends if I get moaned at)

That stuff should be absolutely fine mate. i forget the temp rating of the red stuff I use but it's fairly similar.

Like you, I'm not discounting the possibility of needing to add a box to this system, but a 316 stainless box from birchalls, 16x4'' with 3'' bore is oanly around £45-50, so should easily be let in in place of the resonator that's on the system already.

I need mine to come in under 100dB for trackdays, although if I like being a noisey chav on the road i've come up with another plan to ghetto mount a 3rd silencer across the back of the car on trackdays to get the sound down.

[Wazzzer]

yeah I'll have a word with the guys who I'm getting to sort my tailpipe and see what price they can come up with to add a silencer at some point too

Anyone know the thread and size of the lambda sensor in the Golf? Need a blank

[golfyste]

Did it not come with any blanks? Mine came with two!
Will have a look look at the size later or I it easier I could post you one 

[Wazzzer]

I'm starting to think I've been done over here lol

Either would be great mate cheers.

I'll be ordering the turbo gasket in a mo and I'll get some sealant for the other join. They have agreed to refund me some money so not all is lost

[golfyste]

Well I will do both 
Pm your address an then if you can find anythin you can wait for it to arrive 


Yeah but in my eyes, for how cheap the system is, small things like that arnt a problem 

[Wazzzer]

Thanks mate you're a star. Yeah it's not like I'm getting it fitted tomorrow and need the parts straight away...

Mine's arrived, the cardboard box was almost destroyed, there's a tiny dent on the back box fromt being abused, the centre section has been squashed on the end and is now not round, and there was one bolt and nut in there, the rest had fallen out through holes in the box! Not too impressed with the way FEDEX have treated the parcel to be honest, it's near wrecked.

The exhaust will probably straighten, and I wouldn't be using the bolts anyway, but it's really annoyed me. going to mail the seller in the morning.

Exhaust looks nice though.
