they are quite loud, especially if you have a full de-cat
fitting is simple really, 15minute job

it should sound sweet with the standard centre and downpipe (im guessing you dont want it too loud), but it will look 100% better

If you fit a deresonated centre section that will make the exhaust really loud, a backbox on it's own shouldn't be too bad.

Right the back box is on , looks good and sound good. Pain to get the old bolts off. I found it easier to take the exhaust off from the cat back in the end. I hack sawed the bolts off at the rear box as they were rusted to hell. I managed to snap one of the bolts at the cat end. Any way the exhaust is on but I have a very slight blow from the join at the cat. I'm waiting for the new bolts to arrive and a tube of fire gum but in the mean time I found a bolt to do a temp job for now. Will I be ok driving it with a very slight blow you can only feel it under slight revs , I cant hear the blow. The reason I ask is I know some turbo' don't like it.
