i was thinking that Nas , and i have a pair of broken ones in the boot !! LOL

sounds daft - were the pipes red to start with

was the TII loud with these fitted

FD3SNuttah · October 29, 2005, 10:58:36 PM

hard to say mate, i think they are louder than a stocker yeah, but not where you run the risk of an asbo.. they were brown with surface rust but i gave em a good seeing to with the wire brush and then coated the worse areas with rust converter and then gave em a quick spray with black primer. should last you a nice long while... let us know what you think when you fit them mate.

Mate, you\'ve been warned about starting armageddon in the street!!!

Is yours the full system or is it from the CAT back?

FD3SNuttah · October 30, 2005, 12:54:09 PM

Brett. The car already came with a decent "aftermarket" down pipe (its welded in sections to make the bends) i think its bespoke and not a named brand and i also have a de cat pipe already.(on closer inspection the de cat pipe is like a straight through silencer not just a simple tube), they are in pretty good condition still so i bought a cat back system, looks just like the one you have matey.

i fitted it in like ten minutes it bolted straight up no problems actually fits perfect (dare i say) so jobs a good un.

the old system didnt need much work to take off thanks to my trusty electric angle grinder! lol

Nice one

Hang on this post needs a few more of these before its finished
