haha hold on ,
well eventfull day , went and picked greg up ( dont think he had seen the early side of 10 am before ) and had a drive to nortech , corsa was all done , pushed it outside and took the bumper of so i could get to the tow eye placed the bumper on the grass and the wind blew it over and scratched it
not a happy person going to have to get it painted
got it up on the truck and all straped down then greg noticed where some paint had been chiped of, went and got j and turnes out that the other lad had scraped is jeans against it so j agreed to pay to get it fixed,
can see the original blue paint
but i cant fault j's work it is spot on and would 100% use him again
now some pics
ended up just having the screamer to atsmospher as there is no room to put a flange on it
boost sensor and air temp sensor in here
screamer and down pipe
wideband sensor in here
going to strip it all of tomorow ready for polishing and getting beads put on the edges of the boost pipes

Looks spot on mate,feel as if im being picky here (its hard not to be with such a mint car) but in every photo nearly theres paint been chipped or scrapped off,i would not be happy at all with that and especially the thing with the jeans that is just pure carelessness imo,pipework does look good however

Ok do you reckon 2" would be best for mine also?
Just thinking of a even coverage and not sure if the tight bends on the mani will kink the 2" or not?
