Well the time finally came to fit my new exhaust! Been waiting nearly 2 weeks to do it cos my knee has been fooked & is still hurtin pretty bad! Still... the sort of things people do when bored :lol:

Up on the ramps, ready to begin!
Image

This is to be binned... Standard ruibbish!
Image

This was replaced as new when I got the car 4 months ago...
Image

This was \'supposedly\' replaced with the backbox... yeah right!
Image

Took only a few mins and the old backbox was off!
Image

Damn centre section just wouldnt budge so drastic measures were needed...for the Stubborn Stains!
Image

Damn thing was well stuck on! So used a combination of Hammer, Chissel, Grinder & swearing...
Image

Will it come off?? Who knows! Its like its welded on!
Image

Finally got the damn Center Section off! Yay for Me!
Image

Old 2-piece Standard Crap vs New 3-piece Lexmaul Grp-N System
Image

Finally after a few mins, the new system is fitted & gummed up!
Image

Plenty of clearance for when its lowered!
Image

Looks so much better & is a real good fit!
Image

Definately looks a hell of alot better!
Image

All in, not bad for a few hours work due to the damn center section being stubborn :lol:

Was quite raspy when I first started it & drive it, but after a few mins that soon went & was really nice sounding! Also the engine is revving a hell of alot easier now & seems to feel more pokier! Also considering there isnt a centre silencer, its not too loud!

All in I\'m well chuffed :thumbs:

£202 from Regal (including delivery)

but they have limited stock!

Came with everything, clamps, hanging rubbers, lil clips to keep them in place... all I needed to get extra was some FireGum exhaust sealent to fit it!

Unlucky for some, i have a nice big garage where i live, complete with underground pit, plus my dads a plumber so he has every tool for a job. Unfortunatley my bro\'s skate ramp takes up half the shed lol.
