scorion 'full' system incluydes downpipes and is manifold back... on latervtype systems like mine neway....
centres prone to blowing out and sounding hollow... hence the characteristic sound.....
also mine has been on car since 1998 when Ian had the lump in his car,,,
it has blown out centres and previous owners had them changed... but i havent bothered cos i dont mind the sound..its very quiet until u accelerate...very loud outside though or with windows down

yes
totally
all required lights are on the rear of the car
the law states that you must have brake lighst tail lights and directional indicators and a rear fog light which has to be on the right of the vehicle at least
nothing states about reverse lights and they not even a mot requirement.
actually the way the law is worded is simular to this
lights on a vehicle
front white except for directional indicators
sides amber
rear red except for directional indicators
