Hi, Just a quick introduction. This is the mrs's car yet my TOY!! Was purchased in January 2010.

Just had it in for an M.O.T,Service & exhaust as the stock exhaust was blowing like mad.It passed the m.o.t with no other problems.

Like many we opted for a Stainless Cat back system which was from Longlife (Tony Banks)in Leeds and went for the Mid-sport sound with a 3" inwardly rolled tailpipe.

The sound on startup is spot on imo, not OTT and not silent either. The exhaust note is pretty much non existant after 3-4k revs. Which is ideal for the mrs. I have suggested to get an induction kit if she wanted for a throatier sound higher up the rev range.

The car has Chilli pack, half leather red & black interior. Upgraded front co-axial speakers.
Photos are prior to new s/s exhaust.

Hi,yes it was £250 + vat so £300inc vat all together for the 4 year guarantee or £279+vat for the lifetime guarantee which uses a different grade stainless steel.

The prices are for a cat back system.

Hope this helps.

Looks nice, Id replace the white mirrors myself (I think it makes them look a bit girly/cheap) with black ones, then youve just got the white roof old style. Just my view anyway so probably not your preference. Looks great, how do you know its got uprated sounds? Ive got no information with my car hardly unfortunetely, dont know why! Hopefully not a bad reason haha. Dear.
