Well I have plenty 3" stainless exhaust pipe so if it needs a bit welding in to bring it down off the bulkhead then that's what I shall do still be way way cheaper than the alternatives.

Right mine all fitted and have a little rattle but that near back box. And blows a little but only cause I had no exhaust paste to hand I forgot it (stupid me) but I am quite impressed. ******* to fit though

So it fits and doesn't hit the bulkhead so worth the £110 then glad I didn't waste money on a more expensive one.

No mine does not hit, it is very very close howeve and my engine mounts are brand new. So maybe when they where it will hit I don't know. Was an arse ache to fit thought! And would not wanna do it again in a hurry lol.

Can you tell the difference then? And did you cut the step down sections off to the size of your exhaust?

Yes cut the steps of to side of my exhaust and yes I noticed a hell of a diffreance to be honest pulls a lot stronger and harder feels more grunty. And sounds so cool well worth doin just an arse ache. Only thing I noticed is it fEels bit werid in reverse like maybe down pipe hits bulkhead and vibrates. But only in reverse

Thank you for the comments!

That's a 3" DP to a Jetex midbox. It's loud which you might not be able to tell too well but I love it, it's the perfect tone and rasp for me!

It's easy in concept to modify the downpipe, you just have to know someone who can weld. It's unfortunately sounding like you won't get away with not cutting it, which is a shame for an off the shelf item!

I have that very same downpipe and the same issue!! stuck it in a ten tonne press and flattened it an absolute fraction down by the bend and it made a difference! But it's always vibrating the nuts loose at the top so it's being modified tomorrow! Think a little bit lengthened and a little bend should do it. Pretty annoying knocking on the bulkhead though! :( otherwise a good bit of pipe with good welds!!
