Any chance of sound video and some pics of the exhaust? I'm really thinking about a diff dumped set up now. Is it much louder than with a tail pipe? What did you do to hang the tip? Where does the passenger side pipe hang from?

Sorry for all the questions mate. :?

Thanks mate. Really appreciate it. I never thought to leave that much tail pipe on.

How does it sound? Any louder or dronier than a 4.0 with a catback? Because I have one and I'm used to it haha!

Doesn't get attention from the Fuzz? How is the note?

Thanks again.

Yeah you gotta leave a bit on to have it mounted. So it doesnt thump around and ruin things.

Prob just as loud if not a little louder then a 4lt with exhaust tbh

Well after some little twit snapped my aerial I decided id replacr the whole lot as the motor stopped working
So I bought a whole new assembly
Image
Proceded to throw her in and it doesnt work.
So I pulled the plug off and checked for power. None...
So hard wired 12v to it and it went up and down.
So just gotta pull the headunit out and find out what its beef is.
Thats all for now

Yeah. This is true. But I have a fully set up workshop and such.
Plus trying to save for a house means **** all money.
Only my overtime cash which the mrs gets 50% of for savings.
Other 50 goes into my stash :)

Mines at $8k cause 3/4 of misses family aren't coming
Cause there's like 200 of them.
And we're paying for everything so trying to keep costs as low as we can.
That's why our reception is 5 mins down the road lol
