You're telling me they are! seriously I reckon I could drive up there, stay overnight, get the job done and it would still cost me less than I'm going to have to pay here... :cry:

All done as mentioned above. Louder than I thought and does drone but hey, when the roof goes down it's well worth it.
Mine was done at Powerflow in Redditch Worcs

Oh cheers Jamie, appreciate the offer! I'm certainly impressed by the exhaust, saw the YouTube video, sounds like just what I want, although I'm thinking of a trip to the South of France later this summer and I don't want to be regretting having it done halfway down there :headbang:

Oh no....seriously? That is the doomsday scenario for these I guess. I hope it's just the ECU. Get it fully checked out first before you decide it's dead :thumbsup: …and good luck mate!

Matt, where you based, I'm in Salisbury as well. Also know where one of the guys from maniflow does some work on the side if you're interested, i could ask what he could do?
I had mine done at lead foot racing in larkhill, set me back £180 I think. That was including 2 new tips to fill the bumper gap.
