Had the car mapped again for the 3" exhaust and it made a grand total of 2bhp more (434bhp)
Seems i have a slight misfire which is holding it back, gonna try a new set of spark plugs and see how that goes

how does it feel to drive now Ian...any different from before?
any plans to go tubular and if so equal or unequal...does the 3" sound much louder?
black headlamp mod

The turbo spools about 400rpm sooner on the dyno, as before didn't get a chance to boot it on the way home as the M25 was way to busy
Already have GT spec 2 headers so they won't be changing
The black headlamp mod ain't gonna happen cos i don't like the look

that sounds like a real improvement in drivability terms
equal or unequal?
shame, you were doing so well

Think they are slightly unequal as it still has a bit of a burble
The 3" system is no louder than my old system which is just what i wanted

Can't remember what was in the boot. But it was up at WRC Technologies for a rolling road day.

Agree, the black headlamp mod does look good with the black fog light surrounds

Just a little update, car hasn't been running properly lately, lumpy idle, hesitation at 2500rpm and crap fuel consumption
Simon (JGM) came round yesterday and it seems my lambda sensor has packed up, Simon did have a spare sensor but unfortunately it was the wrong one
For a laugh i phoned Subaru and they wanted £242.45
, on the advice of Simon i got in contact with
Just Lambda and they are sending me one for the grand total of £69 inc delivery

Lol, good stuff mate. Was worth speaking to Simon just for the £170 saving on the sensor!
