Dunno :o: I didn't buy it but I think it's made by torqueflow(?) Sounds nice though. A bit too loud really- sets of car alarms everywhere :P
Its nice and quiet at constant speeds above 1000rpm below that it's too booooomy. I still drive everywhere with the window down though 8)

Ahhhh, i know that one well. :mad:

Sorted the shaking out? Was the wheels was it not?

There should be a few vids of it on youtube re the exhaust when John had it fitted, sounds great though.
