well i couldnt be bothered to post the pics up last week, but ill do them nowm i decided to fit my new shocks and springs all round myself, and was amazed it took me just over 2 hours, which isnt too bad
here is a picture of the new shock and spring on the front fitted by myself

and here is the end result, sitting quite nicely

well today, i was just going to be getting the miltek largebore downpipe added to my current system, but where the existing system has been reduced from 2.5" down to roughly 2" they could not mate the downpipe up properly, so i took the plunge and let my wallet take a bashing haha, i went for the full system, but they stilll had problems.
I have a cupra r bumper and then found out miltek do not make the systems for a tdi, basically a FR+, so the guys at AmD made a custom one off system, comprising off the downpipe and mating it up to the non resonated cupra R oval cat back section, so im also very happy i still have the oval instead of the twins
but most of all, definately feels better and now i have my whooosshh sound which im even happier about, so now the whhoossshh sound is down to the cat and hopefully jonjay agrees with me
pics to come later

 

[jonjay]

Carbon deposits in the cat hence no woosh sound...how many miles the car done?

Glad you got your one off system done! Get those pictures up!

 

[brad1]

here are some quick shots as ive just got in from work, but when its lighter, ill get more pictures from underneath

also i found out miltek only make the twin exits pipes like on the cupra petrol and diesel in their miltek range for the diesels, so im the only one to have a miltek oval on my tdi which im also happy about
