Haha! Brill! It hasn't stopped raining here for weeks so haven't had a chance to get the roof down yet. Looking forward to it.
Ray's new idea sounds interesting! Watch this space I guess?!

Sorry for the late response on this, I've been too busy driving the car
The exhaust mod with the 28mm sounds great, it is noticeably louder with both roof up and down so it seems it is a step up on the 22mm pipe which i guess is expected. With the windows down it really is significantly louder from 2k-5k and finally gives the car a proper exhaust note even when you are not hitting the vtec which i always wanted. Its got a louder burble on idle but if you just just pootle about town then you can quite easily keep it quiet. Its only when you use full throttle that is really sings. Hit a few tunnels in Manchester on Sunday and it sounds great!!
A massive thank you to Ray and Ang. Rays quality of work was second to none, a real top bloke!

I went to a steel fabricators workshop on an industrial estate, they gave me it for nothing! It's only an offcut after all.
I was lucky in that the welders at my work did it for me so it also cost nothing, but it took a total of one and a half hours to complete (including removal and refitting of exhaust).

Cheers Ang,
As a southerner I'm in the wrong place for your fantastic offer
My mate is a welder (although the busiest man in the world - if it's only half an hour I imagine i'll be able to get some time) and I'll grab some pipe off ebay or something. Looking forward to having something inbetween stock and my current 3 inch single (very loud).

Seriously considering coming up to you to have it done. I make excellent tea! Can also provide witty banter and a reflective bald head.
Bloody long drive but I'd rather get it done by someone I know on here than some random garage daaan saaarf.

any idea where i could get this done in plymouth or devon/cornwall?? I'm really keen but just too far away from you guys. The 28mm pipe sounds fantastic!!! Has anyone thought about pushing the boat out and going for a 30mm?
