it does have the added extra of sounding amazing as well as looking good, though does need welding up as its only held with u-bolt clamps atm. time to focus on the oily bits now though me thinks.

Well the car gets moved to its long term home in the back of a shed tomorrow (high tech, i know), and will be sorned while i do the engine swap and other mods. So no more waking up half the countryside with that exhaust
but on the plus side i do get to drive between to very close and high walls with the windows down

I don't think it will have gone anywhere today as it's a bank holiday. I'll call tomorrow and check for you.
