Nice write up mate, glad your happy with it. I still have mine sitting in my bedroom being lazy![]()
the only thing I would add to your writeup, is for the hoses, a light smear of washing up liquid on the 76mm hoses will help you slide things one, and allow th epipes to rotate and slide about to align stuff easier, before you tighten them up.. Dont use it on the lower coupler tho onto the turbo.. it falls off when you tighten it up with washing up liquid on it..![]()
I'll be fitting mine at the weekend![]()
Hey mate, have just finished reading your build thread and think your car looks awesome, am really loving the porshe meateor grey on the alloys against the original factory Ovni yellow hehe, am very jealous and wish i could do the same with mine if i did'nt have to save to go back to uni! great write up on the 3" TIP, should hopefully receive mine sometime this week and look forward to getting it fitted ASAP

Thanks Bill. I used a little engine oil to lube things up which worked well too. Hats off to you really, a great product with proven performance gains, it's almost a different car...again
.
hmm.. engine oil not a great move tbh... I use fairy liquid as it dries and is slippy only whilst its liquid.. Engine oil or any other oil will stay as a lubricant forever.. Not what I would advise. Glad you like it tho.. It works better than hoped.
If your having issues with fitting silicone try putting this in boiling water for ten mins to expand and soften it.
Hi subscribers. A very disappointing morning for me. I got to the exhaust fabricator and I was all set to ge the cat-back made up finally however, I was greeted (or is that not greeted at all) by a man who firstly looked at me as if I was mad because I'd requested 3" and not 2.5", I found out the reason that he was trying to push his 2.5" was because he had to do less work. After that I was asked which tailpipe that I wanted so I pointed to a 6x4 oval but they h no stock and apparently are special order so they tried to give me a tailpipe that I wasn't happy with (upswept ugly cr@p) so I kindly declined all of their work and walked away. I have rebooked for 2wks time when he is apparently ordering in my oval but based on their cluelessness and disorganisation I will take my car elsewhere perhaps. On the plus side the car sounds fantastic still with the current setup so sorry lads, maybe you'll get to hear it next time.
Lame.
That's crap. Where/who was it?
Not good matey. I'm not sure I'd now go back to them with my money after that experience if it was me. Your call though bud.
If you've decided initially that this was the correct place for you then just put it down to the guy having a bad day.
He might have had a few drinks the night before and argued with his missus, or just found his missus in bed we the milk man.
We've all had bad days, give the guy another chance.
Yeh I don't think it was that bad Saturdays unfortunately are not great day for garages they are tired after weeks work and lots of people that can't get there during the week put pressure on them to do their job on a Saturday.
