Haha i thought ill wait and fit it at the weekend. But kept looking at it and thought I wanna fit it
Alot louder than i was expecting even with all the windows up but sounds great 

Banham, just how loud we talking plse?? I was planning in having 1 fitted in next mth, but mite have rethink after yr comments, lol!?

took my 3" turbo back non res milltek off last night

r32 brakes and eibach springs coming off saturday, returning to standard is a ball ache

Checked the oil last night then spent the next hour fixing the bonnet release mechanism as the bonnet refused to shut

Fixed with plenty of WD40 and Grease

I can hear the whoosh sound with the windows up. But its only cause its a new sound to me anf have to get use to it and wont be so bad. But its a nice sound. I would say get one mate worth the money

Depends on if you like brand new items. 2nd hand will prob have a few marks on etc but will save abit on cash. I havnt done anything like it before. Took just over 1 hour. But its just connecting the tubes and making sure its all the correct way and tight 

Cheers! Tbh, the 2 prices r the same, so clearly a no brainer, lol! That said, 1 has fitted them b4, 1 it wud b his 1st, but as u say, not overly difficult 2 fit! Any tips mate?? Apart from fitting correctly and tightly, r there any special lubes, etc to use, r any wrappin 2 apply??
