Should be good, they looked good quality. What will you do about hanging brakets, make your own ?

Ah! Cheers Dan! No wonder I couldn't find them searching for Motec!!!

I'm going to try and order one early this week, so that it arrives for next weekend, so that I can fit it along with your downpipe... Tried to fit the downpipe the other day, but the clamp holding the downpipe and system together is knackered, so am gonna wait til I get the exhaust ad fit it all at once. If all goes to plan, your replacement will be in the post next monday.... sorry for the delay mate.

As for the brackets, I'm going to fabricate some myself.. I went to a breakers the other day armed with my cordles recip saw to chop one off another car, but they look sooo weak, so I'll make my own. A mate of mine has a welder, so he'll give me a hand welding it all together!

just phoned them and ordered it.

Getting a G40 system as the G40 has a 45mm downpipe end, and the GT has a 42mm end.... so they are going to supply a spacer to go with it!!

Ordered a straight through pipe with no centre section and a straight letterbox tailpipe that will sit recessd into the rear bumper!!

As it's a special order and they are quite busy, he said that I may recieve it this week, but more than likely it will be early next week.. oh well, that gives me time to make up a pukka exhaust bracket for it to sit on!

Â£205 inc VAT and P&P!! Not bad at all!!

I can't wait!!!

Very nice, Â£205 inc VAT and P&P is a good price.

For hanger brackets you want to get something like the one below with some heavy duty rubbers. If you go down to a scrapyard or breakers, cut them off a suitable vehicle. I know some fords and landrover discoveries have those type of hanger.
