I reckon you could pick up an unwanted classic centre and newage Sti BB for under £50. Bit of dremel action and jobs a goodun.

Nah, bungs are nasty on tuned cars IMHO.
Instead of welding flanges etc another option would be to get an unwanted 2.5" bore classic centre pipe and newage Sti BB (cause they're cheap) and just remove relocate or even ignore the rear bb hanger.
Going down to 2.5" from the megaphone designed 3" Blitz won't make much if any difference to bhp IMHO. If anything it may feel more torquey.

Might be worth an offer. I got a very similar one for £150, and you could always sell it on afterwards

That exhaust has done loads of track days Gary without any problems, including a few hot laps of the ring

Enquired on the H&S GB Darc, c.£60 +£165 +15% for a 2.5 centre and ScoobySport BB. Minty new and ready to go. I reckon that's pretty good value for track days ?
I might sell my noisy Apexi 1 piece, its in better condition than Jap Performance ones and they go for £280

Cool a trip out in a RS at Brands sounds good
The Snetteron day was good but I reckon Brands will offer more thrills especially just after the main straight
I am definately out with one of the instructors on this one

"What is a track-day ? & what do you do ? " At this point i hung up !!
God insurance used to be so easy with Gary !!
Still Gary also recommended the guys in the link that you have supplied , I'm currently waiting for them to get back to me with the quote
