What I'll be doing this weekend

I really hope they've sent the correct exhaust, this pipe looks huge

Nice one Tony, I would have been doing the same thing if I'd have got my garage cleared of that furniture, Oil & filter change plus have a look at the blowing exhaust what those damn speed bumps have done with those low profile wheel/tyres I had on.

Very nice little set-up you have there Tony, all lined up ready to be fitted I guest.

I hate speed ramps, they have caused a lot of damage to my cars over the years. Worst one was a cracked sump on a diesel Golf, one hump was about 3 inches higher than the rest and I didn't notice until I'd hit it

Probably be a trip to Scotland as soon as they're fitted as well

Good test for the new exhaust

That exhaust looks very similar to one that I got for my V6 2/3 years ago (£32 back box!) - I found that it was tricky to fit and was touching the body or the tunnel brace until the bracket was 'manipulated into just the right spot, when it just about fitted without touching.

So be prepared to do a bit of bashing to the hanger bracket

Nobody has made a guess yet.

Looking at the Stanley tape, I reckon the missus has issued instructions to measure up for some new curtains.

Or he's tidying up the garage, throwing away that old exhaust and ditching the empty oil containers

Tidying up the garage, you have stuff lying about all over the place lol

Argh a minute too late

I think it was £36 so I was expecting to have a little bit of "manouvering" to make it fit correctly

Saying that it feels quite good quality, not what I was expecting for the price at all

Went to visit my mother in Hull last week, speed bump city and totally overkill
