One day, have you seen how much they are???

If the mot man is happy I may just weld up the slits in the pipe and paint in black, I'm not one to worry about the bling side of things :D

Just annoying it's all gotta come off again before being fitted for good.

The end you can see is flared so I may aswell just get a 3 inch length with 30' bend to finish it off but it isn't something I'm gonna worry about.

I actually quite like it as it is but I'm sure I'll be persuaded soon enough to bling it up a little.

Unless I can sort the angle of the backbox out I'm stuck with the funny angle but atleast it's different :D

Update:

Finished the downpipes, added WB, paint and wrapped it.

I have to say I'm quite chuffed with the way it's come out :D

And added a little bling to the tail pipe to keep some of you happy :cool:
Image

Also made the rear hanger and painted the rest so just fitting and fettling left to do!!

Celvin,

I'm home all day, infact not back to work till Friday, pop after 6 if you want to help me line it up if you like, need to get the final position sorted so I can drill the bolt holes in the hangers.

Then a test drive would be required as I need to cure the exhaust paint anyway :cool:

Mark.

Got the down pipe fitted, may have to adjust the steering rack slightly for more clearence and it was a damn tight fit with the wrapping on it.

I also cut down the heat sheild and am making up another sheild for the bulkhead as it's going to melt wires if I don't.

Gettng there now :D
