Hello all

This beauty turned up and I’m obviously keen to get it fitted

Its been a long time since I’ve done any exhaust changes so remind me:

- front bolts that connect to cat/manifold
- the central reinforcing plate remove and unbolt the exhaust
- pop the rubber rear supports off

Am I missing anything?

I’ve got new flange gaskets and bolts

Stuart

So do I!

My second Coupe had a custom-built cat-back system and sounded lovely. :D
