[/quote] You'll also need to buy all the bolts etc., as they're not included either! [/quote] You would of thought when paying hundreds of pounds for a quality piece of kit they would of included a few bolts. Its not like they cost much!! Anyone know whats bolts are needed for the full system? (Replacement cat and pre cat) thx Alex

Numptie question me now. Should one assemble prior to fitting or (as I shall not be fitting) leave it to exhaust fitter to do so? looks easy enough and would make it easier to transport in one piece. PS cant get the idea of how that bracket holds twin tail pipe onto end pipe from back box from pics posted.

[stu wright]

With regards to the Larini system you had fitted, what was the result in dyno test. Can you tell me with the Larini system what future stage tunes will that exhaust system allow, how does it compare to the Milltek. Are you pleased with it? cheers stu

Right then, I did the deed with Rob and fitted his BB. Its best to semi tight assemble prior to fitting, but take the support brackets off both sides to make install easier. also slap a bit/lot of fire gum round the BB-> tail pipe joint as it leaks a bit due to being a bit ghey. other than that, fairly straight forward what with cutting the 3 cat bolts off etc.. Much childish giggling ensued on the test drive and much dissapointment that we saw a westie going the other way after we turned round that we could have played with lol.

So have there been a lot of Larini fittings over the weekend? and if so what do you think, do they sound good and improve performance etc? Just trying to get the low down..as i get mine fitted at TMS on the 20th of April. Cheers Nathan

Yep, fitted mine along with new mounts on saturday I am in love with the noise it sounds exactly how I wanted it to. Can be no louder than standard if you are driving at constant revs/speed, but if you give it some beans it sounds awesome, and when you coast along off the accelerator but in gear in pops and burbles Still makes me smile like an idiot with every pop Cheers Stuart Thanks for organising this GB Nathan

Well santa came while i was at work. Came back to a nice parcel in the garage:



The pipes look quite close together. Theyre alot closer than the standard box. Is this the same for everyone else?

Cant wait to get it fitted now!!

[GruFF]

would be good if some of you guys could get some videos or sound clips..... only ever heard one on a vx and it wasnt the best quality.

[RobNA]

I'll try and do a video tomorrow, but I dont think it will do it justice Watch this space...

[slindborg]

ill try and dig a mic out so it could be mounted near the pipe and we could record that on my laptop..... maybe?

Sounds like a plan Stuart. When do you want me to come and pick up the old box?

[Blue VXR # 65]

Got MIne yesterday, just going to open the box now, will keep you all posted. Cheers Nathan.

Clicky for videos

Can anyone tell me how the Larini system (with regards to the quality of craftsmansip - performance) compare to the Milltek. Plus, does anyone who has had either the Larini or Milltek fitted live anywhere near Stafford so I could have a look/listen if they wouldn't mind. Cheers Stuart
