I would say you should get a Catback system with both silencers on. That would be a bit quieter for the baby but still give a nice grunt from the exhaust.

At low revs it runs reasonably sociable its only when hammered that it really opens up ! Thats why i like it so much it not overly noticable until when just general driving !

Really easy all you need is a spline bit think its m8 and its 4 cap heads holding it down, the passenger seat has 3 cables running into it and the drivers has 2 they're just push fittings they are a bit fiddly to get out on your own with holding the chair up and undoing the clips, but with help its a simple.

I found 12 pound under the seat rails that i couldn't get so i was made up.

Your car is looking awesome mate and the black on black looks amazing!

I'm just wondering if you could tell me where you got your Motorsport GTR black 24 from and how much did you pay for them?

Thanks,
Jac :D

This may sound like a stupid question,
but can you feel any difference in every day driving with the weight-shredding?

Not really its literally taking a tenth or two off a second of the time by improving the acceleration couldn't notice anything really, the only thing I could say is it makes the exhaust sound amazing echoing around the car haha might convert it and carpet out the boot first polo Gti van haha
