Back box delete

[Norretal]

Well I finally got some changes done yesterday, after some prior discussion with Conquistador (Cheers Oli ) regarding his silencer modification. It seemed too good an opportunity to miss while I was having the tailpipes renewed so I went for the silencer removal at the same time. The silencers in question being the mid pair before the back boxes. I happened to find that the exhaust was cracked just after the nearside one, so that was sorted at the same time.

I wanted the tailpipes to be as near OEM as possible but had to accept they wouldn't have the same profile, but I thnk they look great. The originals were cut off at the box and new straight sections fitted, with the tailpipes fitted to them. The originals have strange twists in them to accomodate the valves for the flaps and the hanging bracket so they made and fitted a new hanging bracket to each one so the pipes could be straight, which made the job a lot easier, and neater. They're Longlife tailpipes, I could have went for slightly larger (there's room) but didn't want to increase the chances of them catching at any point so I'm happy with what I decided upon

The look is what I wanted, and it's got rid of those shabby tailpipes, they'd bugged me since I bought the car over two years ago. These won't be allowed to be anything but carbon free and shiny. The added bonus, the noise, what a difference, the beast has been unleashed!! It's still as refined as ever in the car but I can't stop driving around with the window down, just so I can hear the roar, it's awesome.

I've added some pics of the old and new set up, let me know your thoughts gents. I've also got a short video to share, hopefully that will upload too. So, for around a quarter of the price I was quoted for a Miltek I reckon I've got something now that looks and sounds just as nice, if not better
