Hi All,

Well i finally fitted my straight through exhaust (ignore my claggy welding) it was done in situ and is only really a pattern for things to come i must say it sounds like a V8 now dream on :rolleyes: Well it does sound much better than before a deep rumbling heavy sound and much quieter at speed with no droning i leave that to the missus :P all in all i,m happy with the results ;)
