The exhaust sounds good mate :)

Also liking the engine bay clean. It won't build up quickly the dirt under there so if you do it bit by bit each time you wash it will get show clean in no time.

Autoglym vinyl & rubber care is amazing stuff for the black plastics under the bay, let it soak in and you can rinse off with a karcher set to off so the water gently does bits on the bay. Obviously don't turn it on when rinsing on a bay! Lol.

I take off my engine cover every so often, rinse down with the hose, then leave to soak in the sun with the vinyl & rubber care for a while until the overruns have run off. Then rinse off, leave to dry and it'll look mint. You can then spray the same stuff back on it when fitted and rub it into the plastics to get that 'new' plastics look. D.K showed me how to get the best from the black plastics and boy does it work.
 
I ran put of vinyl care half way through but megalurs hot wheels tyre shine does the job hahaha.

I've straightened the exhaust a bit took forever only up on stands but I'm going to leave be til decat is fitted then will sort it abit more.

How did u get on at amd? Bit hot so I read did u not get a good run?

Those products will do the job mate! Keep persisting on the bay it'll come good :D

Same with the exhaust, try cable ties around the hangers.. Just be careful not to tie it too tight that the rear silencer touches the heat shield above.

Amd was extremely hot! Car pulled 286bhp and 318 lb/ft. 32 degrees on the day and cars indoors with the fans by the rollers in effect just blowing hot air at the front of the car. I want to take it on again but Jan/Feb time when it's cold, lol ;)
 
I've give up on the exhaust till I can borrow a ramp.

I wanna get mine on the rollers sometime just out of curiosity!

Yeah it's good to know what it's doing although logging through vagcom will tell you more.

You can see if your map is nice and smooth though too. So if it's not check things like the N75 and that's performing correctly etc.

:)
 
Need to find someone with a full vagcom willing to log it for me!

I'm itching to get it mapped stage 1 but know I should wait fmic and downpipe/decat to stage 2
 
This arrived yesterday and tomorrow I'm off to the lake district via cobra! To fit this to?????

Answers on a postcard

Hahahaha.

I'm off to cobra tomorrow as I can't get my exhaust to sit right so they are giving me a discount on a downpipe and decat so would be rude not too
 
Good man, the whole system will come together now :D

Enjoy the trip to the lake district also mate ;)
 
Obviously that is the main event Tom! ;)

Few b road blasts with the decat won't go a miss through those hills!
 
Got my cobra cat back today :D

Did yours come with a gasket where the centre section joins the cat?
 
I just tried phoning them then realised what the time was... I'll have to see if i can get one from work on Monday then.

You got 3" turbo back decat now?

Unfortantly not as when u order a cat back it's 2.5" bore so then you have to have the decat to match.

But on a plus note it cost 305 for the catback and 250 for the downpipe/decat so 555 in total whereas the 3" turbo back system is 625

I know we would all like the extra 1/2" but it's good enough for me :p
 
Thanks mate :)

Sounds good! Raw and throaty. Good stuff, bet you're chuffed.

Only negative now is that you'll look for any excuse to plant your right foot and make some noise!
