Matt - I might make up a little bracket to have it under the bonnet release but so i can still see it easily, not sure yet so will see how i get on.
Stephen Budge - Tis a d1spec as far as i know, got all the packaging etc if you want me to take a pic of it?

sorry fro it looked liked a bc, but i thought they didnt do throttle controllers and i was right. 
looks good, now you need to get a boost controller . . . . . .
. . . . and a turbo

Picked up my new exhaust earlier, it's not the style i wanted but the price was too good to turn down so thought i may aswell try it and if i dont like it sell it on 
Each side comes with a bung so can have it quietish or balls out loud

Fitted it yesterday and had the bungs out last night and all i can say is Balls out loud is fucking ridiculous! x 1 milliiioioooooon Won't be able to drive it like that all the time
Heres a few pics, didnt get any during fitting though as i thought i would have trouble doing it but everything went ok
Picked exhaust up friday from kent.
Got home and soaked the four bolts i would need to remove with wd40 while the system was still warm.
Soaked them again before i went to bed.
Woke up at half 5 to try and fit before work.
Sprayed the bolts again.
Went for a drive to heat it all up a bit.
Got back and sprayed it again.
realised i didnt have any deep sockets 
went to b&q at 7 and they didnt have any either
Sprayed the bolts again
Went to a local tool shop and got some deep sockets.
Got home and sprayed them again
Didnt have much time left by this point so i thought i'd try to loosen the two back box bolts before work to see what the horror stories were all about.
Put the socket on and one kick each and they were both loose
while undoing them i keept tightening them a bit so not to damage the threads.
That took about 10 mins all in so thought i was onto a winner
did them back up and sprayed the Y pipe bolts then went to work.
Got home from work and...you guessed it..... sprayed the Y pipe bolts again
Borrowed some ramps and a big jack from my neighbour.
put the socket on the y pipe bolts and kicked once and they were off in 10 mins.
Total time was up to about 25 mins so thought brilliant I'll have this done in about an hour altogether
WRONG
The rubbers on the back box are the most awkward mafuggas i have come across in my life! Took me an hour to get them off and that with a mate helping
Once they were off we put everything on loosely to try and get the cans to sit right.
Need to work on getting the right side up more but there is a metal cover/box there so need to work something out.
Once i was happy we tightened it all up.
Started it up with the bungas in to check for leaks and it was louder than standard with nice burbles and pops but not too bad.
No leaks so then removed the bungs and started it up....
HOLY CRAP was it loud!
Got my mate to drive it round the block and i heard him all the way round!
sounds really deep down low but awesome from 3.5k up when floored
Any way enough of the rambling heres some pics.
Old and new for comparison.
before
And fitted.
Doesnt look as bad as I thought so will probably be staying on but with the bungs in most of the time!
Friend that was driving behind me said it was vibrating him in his car it really does sound like war especially through dartford tunnel

It's a k1 doug, would have preferred a k2/scorpion to keep it more standard but this was local and slot cheaper than it was worth so thought it would be worth a try
