tshirt2k Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I thought that but it would prob be touching the bumper and heat shield. Doesnt look that low in the flesh. Might need to change the rubbers to make it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Looks great. Perfect size for the bumper. They do look MASSIVE when you take it out of the box for the first time. On wednesday think we'll ask for them to get it as high as possible.Hopefully it'll sound as good as it looks style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Does it have a centre box? I keep knocking mine on the daft little 'not allowed to enter the car park this way' flappy metal things at Uni.I want one but I'm a little bit unsure about the size of the tailpipes.

tshirt2k Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Sound is nice! A nice burble not intrusive, haven't been on the motorway yet but its a sound that makes you want to rev it more.Doubt you can get it higher, unless you get them to bend the mounts that go through the rubbers. Cat back and It has a centre box. Tailpipes are flush with the top of the recess. £335 delivered you still getting rubbing on the back?Haven't since i had to bend in the inside of the arch style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
