It has come up very well , better than expected tbh , I bought it from a local guy for £80 , you can pick up some very cheap stuff that just needs a little clean or tlc , at nearly £300 under retail price I'm pretty happy tbh

Good job cleaning, got to do my Japspeed backbox later that Im sticking up for sale.

£80 a good price for the Nur spec, Even if you get a custom exhaust place to knock you up a 3"inch mid-section from backbox to downpipe you should still be under what they go for 2nd hand!!

Being the nur spec s it reduces to 2.5 at the flange to meet the existing centre section , ATM I have a full prodrive system so I'm just swapping out the prodrive back box for the nur spec , hoping I'll get the deep base sound without the all out volume of the full 3 inch straight through centre , if I decide in future to go with a 3 inch centre then I know a guy who works for a decent custom exhaust place so I can get one knocked up for a few beer tokens
