Ah, sorry - thought you meant the hosetechnik brake lines!!! Nowt much to see - just made the hoses cover all the alloy pipework, so just shiny black silicone now, rather than shiny alloy!! Will take a pic tomorrow when it's light (need to change a clip over to a clamp at the TB end - clamp I had is just marginally too narrow to move it over the hump, so change to a larger one tomorrow). Then good to go. And will get a soundclip of the exhaust - tried one but there was too much wind noise in the background....

Cheers

PS: You fancy meeting up next week Rick? The Premier Inn at Bolton is beginning to lose it's appeal after two months!!!

It was the standard pipework but with only a rear box (small aftermarket silencer), and a 100 cell cat.

As per previous post#3 - it has been built into the new system by opening up the cone ends slightly...

As above. Sounds a bit different from how the video makes it sound - might be because it was off to the opposite side (sat the camera on top of a grit box in an industrial estate....) On full tilt over a walled bridge it sounds superb!
