Yeah I had the same dont for me, but it was done at the same time as fitted the whole system obviously. DeCAT should add some more noise to it aswell.

When they fitted my back box for about £20 they took my centre section off at the same time to get a tidier finish. Hopefully mine will cost less than £50. Took them about 25 mins in total to change my back box.

I couldve maybe done the exhaust myself but i wanted to pay a garage to do it as i had a bit of money at that time. Suspension is piss mate, just takes a while. Did mine in two stints, fronts then backs.

I want this done, but i dont want any welding to take place, i want the centre section to be connected with clams the same as the one from the factory is.

I wouldn't suggest using clams...

I think clamps would be better that seafood like...
