Its a Magnex De-Cat system 4"

This sound right?

Neatness: nope, welding-iron lumps everywhere
Friendliness: OK, until I complained
Helpfulness: see above
Overall price: been told now that it was very expensive for the quality of what I had done

I've already got my Magnex Cat-back on.

I want the centre box/silencer taken out, and a straight thru pipe fitted.

MAINLY due to it scraping on speed bumps and especially going doing my lane (slightly rocky/bumpy) it feels its away to be ripped off!

Take the center section to a welding company, or engineering company, they'll charge you a tenner + materials... Or DIY it, weldings easy...

It was my exhaust, which is currently sitting in my garage at my parents' house (no space in my own garage) until I finally get started on putting the claim through the Small Claims Court......and yes, it's 100% stainless-steel!

As barrywatson said mate, go see Julian up at Turra. They're Powerflow (so you probably just been there!!) but I could never fault their work up there.
Put it this way, my dad has got his dual exit twin 3" on his jag and it's absolutely spot on! Never had any probs with the exhaust on the scooby either!

Just got to go back soon to get one of his alloys repaired, ran over a stone and it dented the rim, ouch!!
