Default Got my new exhaust

Finally got my exhaust fitted today. 5" tailpipes with a sports cat as well and nearly half the price of the Blitz system. Does sound really nice.. the camera dose not do it justice

As Nigel tufnel would say "this one goes to 11"

You get used to it and even the chap in the shop said it wasent anywhere as loud as it could be as the engine holds it back. With the top down its like surround sound

Will take some more pictures when it stops raining.

I doubt any real gains although maybe a couple with the new sports cat. The new system is alot lighter so hopefully some increase with power to weight. Tbh the sound makes you put your foot down a little harder.

Edit bit: I took it for a good run tonight and it really picks up in the low gears.. def, got alot more welly

Sounds like a muffler bypass exhaust similar to Mikes. I like it.

Those things are huge. Sounds awesome. About how much did the whole thing cost you, if you don't mind sharing?

Price was pretty good bearing in mind im in the UK so I pay double for everything

The Blitz exhaust is £999 + fitting probs an extra £150 so about £1150

I paid £400 + I also got a new cat which was £300 extra so £700 all in with fitting. (the Blitz dosent come with a CAT) and he threw in those enormous tailpipes.

I was chuffed as it was a local garage that did it, where as Ive been putting off the Blitz exhaust for the last 2 years as it was a 3 hour drive away.

$2 is roughly a £1
