Cheers, unfortunately the H&R spacers have just come off cause of the extra tyre over hang, ye it is the vibe quick realise, one half screwed to the seat, nice & easy, unhook & out comes the heavy bulky sub.

lookin gd , chris if your after one i have one kicking about u can have ..

looks awesome dude! think u got a bit ripped off at MIJ tho had mine done there twice on previous cars and couple others had theirs done - might be lieing, but think it was around 300 mark...ah well, sounds good, thats all matters <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

cheers bud, ye you mite be right about MIJ but i never had a clue how much it would cost for a custom exhaust so was happy with that at the time, i wish they'd done the split better as i get a lot of air noise when it hits the split but it not sound that bad it could be better tho.

Very nice

yea, MIJ not the best, far not the best! never will go there again!
