Thanks for the info guys, that's really helpful

Funnily enough, that's the thread where I saw the electrical connectors!

I'll have to check to see what they did with my vacuum tubes. I'm hoping they're still sitting around the tailpipe area, ready to be refit. Hopefully, they didn't cut them off or remove them. Fingers crossed!

I jammed open the exhaust valves on the stock exhaust, using fencing wire.
Gives a great rumble from 1000 to 4000 revs, instead of being silent. After 4000 just sounds amazing anyway!!
No fault codes either!

If I ever miss the Milltek, I'll probably do something similar!
