Finally finished fitting my new exhaust system Big thanks to everyone who helped with this Especially Jim at 2Bular and Vocky for making me a heatsheild





While the clam was off i took advantage and also fitted:-
2.4 inlet manifold,
New top engine mounts,
New lower mount inserts,
New Fuel filter,
New coolant tank,
Oil and filter change,
Spark plug change,
and EGR removal.
Was planning on changing the chains too but ran out of time due to forthcoming house move

Looks like a work of art!

Just Gorgeous! Well done!

looks great, out of interest how close where your gearshift cables to the downpipe ?

Only an inch or so closer than before, the manifold has since been heat wrapped to protect the clam and boot release mechanism
Really chuffed with the finished result

[luna_s]

yeah it looks great

i rerouted the boot cable - runs nowhere near the manifold at all

my gearshift cables were 10mm from the downpipe, i had to make a heat shield

[vocky]

that exhaust system just looks you need to turn the boot release cable/mechanism around, the cable should come from the gearbox side, this eliminates any potential heat issues

Looks stunning. A shame to put it on the car! What size pipe is it?

Hi, is it a 2.5" or 3" system? Jim is making me up a 3" complete exhaust system & manifold. It has to be said, it looks very nice! How much does the complete system weigh?

Its a 2.5"up to the 200cell cat then its 3" after that. I was so keen to get it fitted that I never thought to weigh it I can confirm however that the manifold weighs less than a crisp packet in comparison to oem.
