Recieved my backbox last thursday and went down to the unit I pay my brother to use, The old backbox was solid and the hanger was welded on, used a hacksaw and my brother also helped remove it, the new backbox went on in 5 minutes and has a nice tone and not too loud, was a custom one off ebay for £98 and im really happy with it

Got the mini camera off eBay, seller is szhousing iirc. I'll see if I can get a link in a sec.
Cheers Firestate MOT isn't due for a while fortunately  Emissions will be alright as it still has the cat, the silencers don't affect the emissions. They gave my 1.0 B an advisory for being loud with just an Ashley backbox, so I'm thinking they might not like this I need to adjust it slightly too at some point as it's not quite straight

Yeah mine's the manicat as well  Nice one
Not entirely sure how long I'll keep this exhaust for though, I want a Piper system eventually Although would like to go all out and get the full 2.5" system with sports cat really Costs about £800 though so might be waiting a while
