just received mine..only 2 days late. but here none the less :)
anyone fitted one of these systems? trying to find a local garage to fit, but need to know wether these are fairly straight fitting and not to badly fitting? can anyone shed some light please. quite urgent as i have found couple of garages that will fit as long as straightforward.
 
should be straightforward enough, i had one on my old car (clio) and it fitted good enough. y dont you have a go to do it yourself..if youve got a trolley jack , axel stands and a mate should take 2hours or so
 
had considered doing that but did mates done their vectra other week and the nuts were all seized on it, he ended up taking to garage. plus garage will have the rubber hanger i need, cos when backbox went, it too the rear hanger too :) rather pay someone else to get dirty and scrapped knuckles.hahahaha
 
ok found garage in wigan that fitted my exhaust only cost £20...bargain. the exhaust was about 1 inch to long so they cut pipe,also the backbox doesnt quite hang right...but boy does it sound nice and was alot cheaper than the manufacturers exhaust and alot of other garages too. i'm well pleased with it.
 
what i meant when it doesnt hang right, is that the rear box is a lot bigger than standard box.so it sits a bit lower. just took for a drive down m6, not to loud at around 70-80mph so thats good :)
