It would have been rude not to start it up with no exhaust when I was replacing it.  :y

Damn! knew I forgot something when I did my exhaust!  >:(

Kevin

LOL  ;D  ;D  ;D

Then again, I drove my Westfield from Aviemore to Alton with no packing in the exhaust back in September. The novelty wore off by about Kingussie. Glad we had ear defenders.

cherry bombs on omega? clearly not my cup of tea but what ever floats your boat.
Irmscher rear twin box and middle silencer taken out, now that sounds impressive combined with a panel filter, as induction filters dont like my omega for some reason, me think it will probably sucking too much heat in from the engine bay.

Hangers are the same, straight swap

Mountings only differe from pre-facelift to facelift and saloon to estate

I have been running a remus twin piped back box on my 2.5 fro about a year with standard gm exhaust mid and front pipes..on tick over just a low warble,but when floored it sounds like the clips attached..pretty amazing for a family saloon.(well not really,family).but thats what I tell them.

Where can one get straight-through pipes to replace the mid silencers? Do they have to be custom made? Any recommendations or ideas of price? The baffles have gone in mine so will need replacements sooner or later.
