Some quality parts being used here!

[mic_VR 3]

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!

[swiftkid 1]

Some cracking progress matt! Where did you end up getting the fans from by the way? Need to order some myself

[Hofmiester 10]

Jesus, you've been busy while I was away. Looking good mate! I've got mine in bits again too :(

[seanl82 23]

Ahh looks so familiar! You'll have fun putting it all back together let me tell you mate!

Yea im chuffed mic all be a little nervous i must admit and the pile of parts to put back is getting bigger and bigger haha

 

I assume yours has the three boxes mate , mine will stil have two boxes , well the pipe like silencer and then the back box , i dont mind it being a bit loud though its not as if ill be driving it everyday and if it is a bit to loud i can always put the third box back on the car

[coullstar 0]

I like what youve done with it. It was loud but not raspy irratating loud.

I think they was of ebay mate ill find the place out for you and let you know

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

[mic_VR 3]

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

[lilfuzzer 1]

I hate you so much :lol:

Jamie I may know of a set coming up for sale shortly in very similar condition almost new!

I hate you so much :lol:

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
