Im similar, if i cant do it myself then a specialist
MIJ for a custom SS exhaust
local Proper tyre fitter that Doesnt use air guns , (they have a torque wrench "!!")
and GRN for those jobs needing specialist tools/i really dont want to faff with

you May find GRN rather more wallet friendly than a main dealer,
tbh with the S40 and now V50 (plus a few of my dads cars ) over the years, Zero hesitation recomending Benny/GRN, and as said im Fussy who i let touch my cars with spanners

(i detail cars as a hobby,, That fussy

)

Thanks Andy, really appreciate the recommendation.

I used MIJ for the exhaust in my T4, can i ask how you've got along with your exhaust, did you notice any difference?

main things i notice
sound - its a deeper tone , i went for the Quietest option they have,
no motorway drone, not loud at all , Bit louder than dads identical V50 with factory exhaust, but a deeper tone,
driving wise, yes a change as it is not as restrictive as the stock system was, we are not talking much more than "picks up a Bit quicker" nothing outstanding or earthshattering

Zero blows

Zero rattles Zero clunking into the wheel well @ the back, which the old system did all 3
