I'll put the first one on on Wednesday and test what that's like. If still not quite enough I'll put a second on!

Thanks for the comments chaps!
 
Looks great Luke about bloody time!! I was starting to worry about you.

Try 1 bypass pipe mine is starting to sound better and better. I am not sure i am going to another in now.
 
Haha! I know mate, it's taken a while to get round to it! Worth the wait though! You got yours all sorted now? Your tips seem to be flying out the door too! Good work mate!

Its a quick job to get the box on and off now so it won't take 15 mins to put the bypass pipe in. I've already got the pipe ready :thumbsup: I'll keep just the one pipe for a month or so and then go from there.

I'm dead excited to get the spoiler done! To be honest that was what I was most looking forward to seeing :( I've waited this long so another week isn't going to hurt!

Not sure whether that is a good idea? That would mean you would have less backpressure on 3 cylinders? Or is that solved with the cross-flow?

Buffed it up nice and shiny!!! Came out really well. Spoiler and lights next from the paint shop. Hopefully will be in before the end of the week
:thumbsup:
 
Looks great

But you may find the exhaust tips are too near the M bumper, more so the far left tip coming off the muffler

I managed to 'melt' a small section of the bumper from having my enlarged tips too near

Thanks! :thumbsup: yeah I am still to finish the alignment of them which I will do soon as I can. Tge right hand bracket just needs to be pulled right slightly which will pull both tips right

Thanks :thumbsup:
 
Love that!

The fitment of the bumper with prefacelift lights is not at all bad.

Looking really good Luke. If things start getting hot or melting i could knock up some kind of heat shield for you.

My refurbished again wheels and new tyres go on Friday :) I will get those bits made and ready for next weekend. I am going to the midlands meet on the 28th might be an idea to meet there? I will brig tools and fit them in the car park.
 
Oh my. Rear bumper looks cracking, front bumper looks cracking.

How much did you pay for the front bumper? I can't seem to find one with fogs and grills for an OK price!

I actually need a quad now.. damn you! I want slightly smaller trips, but other than that it's perfect.
 
If you go for larger diameter tips then a deeper note will be produced

Mac (neil) and I have the exact same custom muffler but mine has a deeper note due to wider tips

Really? I didnt think the tips would have any affect on this?

Could it be as yours has more mileage? Mine was so quiet at first, but now has a much deeper rumble.
