Nice bit of kit, can't fault the quality and they also included new fittings and gaskets which I was rather pleased with

Cheers fella's, I admit I would have prefered the same sort of tip thats on my Scorpion backbox which is a small oval which fits the recess perfectly where as this is a 5x3, it looks rather big but will see what it looks like on the car, the sound should keep me happy either way

Mine is a 6x4 and doesn't look out of place at all.

Although I'm changing to an outward rolled sometime in the very near future.

UPDATE 01/05/2010

Well cracked on with the exhaust today, took me and my Dad an hour and it was all fitted and no blowing, perfect fit aswell, doesn't hit anything and the tip fits the recess nicely

Old system off, doesn't look to old either so not sure if its worth putting it up for sale?


Up in the air half way through


All fitted




Very pleased, sounds bloody ace on boost and loves to pop on over run
Will get some video's soon

Thats all I work for really, no place of my own or missus at the minute so every penny on the car
Well most likely going to do the CDTi airbox conversion which TX Autosport do a complete kit with airbox, blue silicones and stainless pipe, and will also be purchasing a whiteline rear arb when shep gets back with the prices for a group buy.

I thought I may have been taking a risk as I see so many people buying the Milltek systems which are around £350 iirc?
But I paid £280 delivered for the cobrasport one and was really happy with it, came with extra fittings and gaskets and everything fitted perfecty, highly reccomended

Looks good mate.

Was it as good a fit in the bumper as you were hoping?

Looks it.

I can now reccomend the TX Autosport top hat and powerpipe

Fitted it a couple of weeks back, much smoother.

Yea I was expecting it to be totally off but fits fine, not all the way in the groove but doesn't look like its hanging off.
Ideal mate, don't think Ive seen any engine bay pictures of yours?
Any news on the group buy?

Looks awesome! Any pics of how far it hangs out at the back of the recess?

Should be looking at a GSi on monday, so will probably need to get an exhaust as they sound so good!
