mic_VR 3 Posted December 2, 2014 Looking fantastic Matt. Bet you're happy with how it's going so far, and all the fun of putting it back together still to come! Be interested to see how the exhaust sounds. I've got the dual borla's on mine and it's still loud enough for people to know it's me before I knock on the door etc, so a single plus decat will be something else!

sexybourbon 0 Posted December 3, 2014 Jesus, you've been busy while I was away. Looking good mate! I've got mine in bits again too :( Funny isnt it you put them together then say your never taking it apart again then six months down the line its in a million bits again haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted December 3, 2014 Mines 2 boxes, no resonators. I'd describe yours as a single box with resonators (I think that's what they call them) instead of the old suitcase mid box on the standard exhaust. Your system should flow even better than mine as the gases have less bends to negotiate. I have a suspicion it's going to sound epic! How did you polish yours up? I might have to have a go at that with mine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might have to have a go at that with mine Ohh yea i see what you mean i though thats how they all were , i used a bit of emricloth stuff to get rid of the dirt and bits and then used a light grade sand paper wet and dry then used a mop on a drill with some metal polish , and vht black on the pipe bits but im not sure it will stay nice for long tbh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
