I've got there pre-cat fitted already and no problems to report so far with it, cobrasport do have a youtube account with video's of there exhaust systems fitted to the cars.
Here is a link to the MK4 Astra Turbo Video:

That cobra exhaust sounds awesome! I've scrapped the VXR idea now, getting a GSi, as the payments would be a pain the ass on the VXR.

Just sold the astra today aswell, so GSi within a couple of weeks hopefully

btw, how much was the exhaust?

How much can you do them for warren?

Can you have them uprated with twin seals and 360 bearing?

I'm sick of changing turbo's and looking for a cheaper alternative to getting a garrett for my manifold

Shep - Yes mate, just trying to get an address off him, but not had a reply yet. Someone on AOC says they can take a look, and I have offered £40 for his time/petrol, shame he was'nt closer to you tbh.

Pete - Cheers, I am only wanting an arden blue, I've had enough of black cars, and the other colours don't appeal to me tbh.

was offering a swap for my pretty much new one, all fitted etc with a map for mods

might be the best way to get the most money back on the barge

Did a small video last night

Quality is pretty shit though, but you get the general idea.

At 70mph on the duel carrigeway it's pretty much silent.
