Haha it's a bit like that isn't it! Mike moved your car out of the way to put mine in the driveway, your car sounds so good! Ps now that I have added blue to the colour theme of my car I need to speak to you about a different kind of footwell light, blue now ;)

Thought I'd post a little update after driving around with my new exhaust for a few days :D

On start up and idle they are barely louder than stock, you can hardly notice the difference, and in low revs although it isn't much louder, you can notice a more defined boxer note which has meant I have been driving around with the music off and windows down lol!

Now let's talk about WOT (wide open throttle), god damn this thing sounds nice! I still can't wipe the smile from my face! It has such a nice note, nice and clean and has a presence!

Only concern I have so far is that the centre pipe actually sits slightly lower than stock and I have had to literally creep at angles over some notoriously high speed bumps to prevent from scraping. If I eventually move from springs to coilovers I would seriously consider raising the car just a touch to counter this

Should wrap a thick cable tie around the lowest point of the exhaust so it hits the plastic before the $$$ exhaust.

Looking forward to more pics :D

Good point I didn't think of that, but wouldn't the heat from the exhaust pipe burn through the plastic?

And yes I would have taken more pics but my car is extremely dirty at the moment and didn't want to highlight that fact! Any suggestions on what kinda pics I should take? I'll also do an exhaust video in a week or so just want to let it settle in first :)
