Nice. I have some eibachs on my watch list.

What's the cost of a custom exhaust? I take it the sound of a derv doesn't give much in the way of noise? I take it the black panel around the exhaust is from the bi turbo?

Ooh, do you have photos of the exhaust underneath mate? Since you're close I could end up paying you to do me one if possible?!

Speak to him and find out a price mate, I'd prefer to keep my exhaust tip and get another matching so it's the same as biturbo one!

Cool that's originally what I wanted to do, but couldn't find another tip to match :-( I'll probably be seeing him tomorrow I'll ask

Nice one, the tips seem heard to come by mind you, I think a visit to breakers may be best bet!
