Hi some will like it some will hate it no doubt but i had the backbox delete over the weekend
exhaust cut just after the stock resonators and stainless straight pipe with 6" oval tips (stock exhaust can be refitted)
to me it sounds perfect like they should from factory, no increased noise inside at cruising speeds and a nice burble and tone when potting around town
anyhow here it is

Considering doing this too. Is there any Drone at motorway cruising speeds 70-80. Also could you do some drive by videos as I wanted to know what it sounds like. That is unless your in the midlands and local to me

About the same as mine, although I was limited on tip choice and had to go Quad.

Quad looks smart.
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.
Now - Empty garage
If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

Quads took away the slightly "stealth" look of the car though as two ovals could almost be a diesel to "most" people where as Quads on an estate looks either a bit Barry or like a quick car.

If anyone is interested, i do have a standard catback with the back boxes removed and the tips welded back on for sale.
Issue would be posting as its a complete section from the downpipes back. Located in Dartford/Kent if anyone is interested!
It's certainly cheaper than £220, and easier to back to standard afterwards!

Nice e exhaust mate sounds good I think the video.
Has anyone fitted an x pipe section to their mid pipes? So that both banks go through both exhausts

Could be interested mate. What would you want delivered. Try parcel 2 go for a price as its a very reasonable delivery site.

Sounds great. I'm half tempted to get a bam style mod to my miltek with valves and straight through pipes.....
