Finally had a chance to get the exhaust fitted today. Would've had the whole car back together, but weather was too good so went for one last blast on the bike before winter.
Made a wee video to show the difference between the exhausts, but it really takes you to hear it in person! From what I've heard so far I love it, but yet to drive it. Heading out at 7am tomorrow morning to finish it and clear some space on my ramps for @Boabybooster's hearse
Edit: The other exhaust hangers were yet to be fitted here, I hadn't forgotten them lol
Hopefully this has worked and it embeds:

Pops and bangs are a novelty at the start but i soon got sick of them tbh. I think you will find it pretty loud under load

We'll see tomorrow morning once I get the wheels bolted on
I'll only be driving the car every other month when I'm home anyways, so the novelty should last a good while!Boabybooster

Does it Add much power? That wee car will probably need it carrying your fat arse around

Probably not a lot extra if any compared to the JCW system. Those pops and bangs tho.......

So the exhaust is on. It's loud. Very loud
@Wild Thing you were right lol. The bangs and pops are hilarious though, I love it!
Took it for the token drive over the Dromara hills to Newcastle earlier. Very impressed with the new brakes. And the tyres are like driving a new car compared to the runflats!
Hopefully get Spelga Dam drive done before I head back to work

looking sweet but cant make my mind up on the rims, I was never a fan of the original GP rims but they just sorta scream at you, look at me I am a GP. Take no notice of me anyway HTD

I can confirm its loud, but in a good way, the pops and bangs sound like fireworks. Great wee car. Been sat here looking at downpipes for mine all night because of it, damn you warranty.

Get yourself a cheap R53 before everyone catches on.

My wife hates me with a passion, supposedly an Ac schnitzer roof spoiler is not an appropriate Xmas present. Pfft. Just had a look the boots on those clubland and space isn't the best, don't think I could love the look of them either to be fair, we head to my folks in Scotland a fair bit and always do a Costco run so the BM is a good size.

Wives don't like these, especially when you buy one with her money for her without her seeing it.
