Scooby I have a full trust exhaust from David Hendry just down the road from you. It is the business and I would recommend it 100%. It has a large back pipe and the difference in sound over the standard car is huge. Real nice sound low down and still very quiet at cruising speeds. I am over the moon with it.
I also have a trust induction kit to go with it.
I'm not 100% sure of the increase but an extra 30-35bhp sounds about right to me. Trust build high performance stuff rather than loud but no more guts stuff.

Only one note : If you put the Trust pipe on your Cat light will come on the dash. It doesnt like it coz it thinks the car needs 2 Cats. David Hendry are sourcing me a unit to make the light go away.

Trust is good though gets my vote

Good question .......not 100% sure without running out to me car but i would say at least 4 inches. A guy i'd never met before stopped me the other day and said he had seen a group of Iraqui soldiers hide up the inside of it, so it must be big.

Im sure Andrew will be able to help you and if you bought your car from them the warenttee remains valid as well.

Make sure you get the full system though. Not sure how much it was though.

I have a couple of pics at home on me digital camera but i have no idea how to download them onto here ....I will have a word with me missis tonight and she can do it for me being the computer genius of the house. Like i said the bits are not cheap but they are good. The sound of the induction kit takes a bit of getting used to whooshes etc but i think they have made it a much better car than the standard one.

I should be down that way soon to see Andrew so if you happen to be around I could show you the car if you havent had it done by then of course.

yep!

1st batch he got in.

it's getting faster every day.. (4,5k on the clock) nicely run in and loving the optimax I have switched to.
It was never really keen on SUL, went well but lacking that little bit of urgency I seem to get with Shell.

Look forward to meeting you at DH, cheers for the comments

love it

Looked like he cut down a pier and used one of the uprights!

More like the thing I'm looking for, the prodrive job looks a bit tame, even though you still get a power gain from it.
