The playmini exhaust I ordered six weeks ago was finally fitted to my car...

It's fantastic... I went for the 3.5" slash cut option with the centre box removed. The sound is awesome, purrs like a kitten and growls like a beast!

I'll take some photos later on tonight, but for £200, this exhaust is great

Fitting was easy (was fitted by a Honda garage, of all places), and I noticed the new exhaust is a lot lighter than the old one.

As for performance gains... well, none noticeable, but I tested it on a dual carraigeway going uphill slightly where I used to only manage 110mph in either 4th or 5th gear. I can now go past 115mph before I run out of road. This is probably down to no longer having a centre box and the exhaust being a little lighter.

In summary...

It's great
