I had a couple of suggestions when I asked recently:

Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
///M3 E46 | XC90 (V8, natch) | Passat GTE | RR Classic V8 flapper

Scotia - Have you tried C+C custom exhausts in hillington?

These guys are Good, not the RS but I had my ST220 flexi replaced there before, and I'll be taking the RS in soon as I need some sleeves made up for Milltek backboxes, they are good and know what they're doing, worth a visit to ask

Just had both mine done and the garage said straight away that they could be replaced in situ so not necessary to upset anything. I used a place in Darlington so no good for you though, this was my post.

Well I just got them done today , had to go somewhere local as just not got the time to go further afield at the minute.

Well the exhaust blowing has stopped but the flexi seems to make a bit of a whistling noise at full throttle . Any thoughts as to why it would be doing that?

Sounds like a weld isnt sealing , or one or both of the flexi's could be leaking. They have matched the size of the originals or bigger haven't they ? . A restriction could also whistle I guess
