I have just fitted my new genuine part Stainless Steel tail pipe (with small box) and the big dustbin sized box.
What a fu**ing nightmare. I couldn't get the bolts loose on the flexi pipe/big box join, so out come Mr Angle grinder to cut the bolt heads off. Got the thing out and realised that I needed two more nuts, as cut the others off.
Could I find the right size, could I f*ck. Sent my mate to Halfrauds to get some nuts, and they didn't have the right size, so he got me some longer bolts and nuts. These did the trick. I'm going to go into the company workshop tomorrow and find a couple of nuts to go with the original (new) exhaust bolts as these bolts wont rust.
She definitely sounds quieter and seems to go better too. I started her up with both boxes off. The sound of that turbo was just music to my ears, still pretty quiet though even with no box on.
Going to give her a service and oil change on Thursday if the weather holds. Then have to sort out some new tyres.
