It looks very well matey 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) Does it sound any different?
I've done a replacement on mine, as in cat & silencer replacment-Cat=binned, silencers=binned, replaced with exhaust pipe & a very nice twin tail arrangement.
I get an extra 3mpg, more full range torque (especially bottom end) & when the turbo spins up & lovely lovley rasp/burble 8-) 8-) 8-) A winner all round :y :y :y :y

Indeed I do,
and it has a sweet sound to it.
not too loud to wake the neighbours but a nice rumble to say there is a V6 under the bonnet,
as for mpg its only done 8 miles since I got it fitted will see how it runs next month when i drop the wife and kids off at stanstead :y
