5 inch tailpipe.....I didn't realise it was that size.

I cleaned the can part today but will finish shining the rest of the pipework on Friday prior to fitting.

1st mod will then be complete.......so until Friday my car will be a mod. virgin.

Do you fist your car?

Are you able to post a video of the sound (idle / flyby)? Should be cool

If it ain't broken.. it soon will be

I was debating whether to post that pic......it's a comparison guide more than sexual intent.

I will have to borrow my mates DV camcorder.....as my mobile phone only hosts small videos.....might be good enough though....I shall see...

you will have to check your car in the morning now to make sure there's no cats fast asleep in it

Lol.....it wont be fitted til the coming weekend......and the car is garaged.....should be ok for Cats then.

I think this is my first post on here, so, Hello folks.

Thats a great looking back box you have there Steve

'lo Dave.
It's sitting in my bedroom by the window at the moment......keeping it nice and warm...lol.....it'll get a brush over on friday before fitment.....will make it look as shiny as poss.....even though no-one will be able to tell...

The new coil gasket I bought and the gasket sheet you supplied should see it safely fitted.

Remember, get the back end as high up on the stands as possible to allow for maximum wigglability of the flange over the drive shaft.
You actually put the flange into the "hole" by approaching from the wheel arch and from below so you need the wheel off as well.

ps
When you feel like giving up cos the flange wont go past over and down, go for a brew add two sugars for strength and when you pick it up again she will slot into place.
Works for me everytime.

Will do.....I got some ramps I can use to raise the car and a 2.5 tonne jack for elevating a bit more if need be. Not forgetting the axle stands.

If not.....I'll have to swing some money at the lads down at the local garage to fit it for me.

That option of using the friendly Kwik fit is not a daft one Steve.
I have still got a sore shoulder from having to use a breaker bar to free off the bolts on the rear cross member to get the back box and middle pipe split. I would have happily handed £20 notes to the lads to have got it up in the air and got the air wrench on it.

ps
I have a picture of my cat climbing in the tailpipe to have a look round and coming out with a sooty face (its a kitten not full grown )

oooh....forgot about the rear cross member...
it's just trusting the garage staff to make a good join with the 2 sections that scares me....
Hmm....maybe I'll call them and find out. I will have 3 days to get it done in though so I might be alright if I give all the nessesary bolts a good soaking.

Not happening at the mo....
Found 2 holes that need welding. So hopefully getting that sorted today.
Looking at the time I'm available it may also mean getting a garage to fit it....more £££.. .... at least I have found a garage that will fit it.....
Fingers crossed the repair will be ok...
