Not sure yet, might do it myself if I can find a ramp.

Or is it classed as cosmetic?

Insurance co will charge me an additional £26

Used, but only a little (the labels are still like new). Good price for the condition!

dxb335d · 06-23-2011, 07:40 AM

Nice one bud!!! Can't wait to hear it. Still can't believe I've never been out in it or driven
it even though I've seen you a million times since you have had it. Were always too busy getting smashed!! LOL

Hotcoupe · 06-23-2011, 07:46 AM

Look good Ed,I'm sure the neighbours will love you even more

Are they a straight swop?

I'm sure Thorptone would fit them in exchange for a brown envelope (with something inside of course).

mistry · 06-24-2011, 03:44 AM

Nice one Ed, Looking forward to the video clips, or seeing it in real life.

Ian, yes they are - they come with additional pipes to connect to the OEM centre. Not really sure how they can complain with the racket their kids make at 05:30 most mornings

Yup...

Will get some vids on over the weekend.

Initial thoughts - it's quite a bit noiser with a much deeper resonance, especially in the lower rev range. It is a bit 'droney' lower down too, but this goes away when you get up to cruising speed

Sounds lurvely

and looks rather nice too

JLR1969 · 06-25-2011, 09:22 AM

They do look better mate

dxb335d · 06-25-2011, 09:32 AM

Looks good mate, they match the colour of the car nearly!!

Been winding up the neighbours?!

Dr Dave · 06-25-2011, 10:56 AM

Looks great Ed!

Hotcoupe · 06-25-2011, 03:04 PM

They look impressive Ed, looking forward to the vids.

How long did the install take? On ramps, or did you have access to a lift?

I'm particularly envious of your rear tyres

zltm089 · 06-25-2011, 03:53 PM

Ed still runnin Vreds.... ;-)

where r the videos?

Install took an hour and I had access to a lift (it would be quite difficult without one).

Need to think about some new rears soon - 3mm on the inside and 4mm elsewhere. Not bad after 18k miles!
