Glad they're all on ok. The boxes are kind of similar sizes hence no real increase in sound.

Look really good and cheap too...lol

Troy....

Not wishing to put a dampner on things but are they straight bud?

Both sides look like they're drooping downwards on the outer edge??? They should be dead straight/horizontal.

Hope it's just the pics buddy! :thumbsup:

I had my exhausts down recently when I put a towbar on. all I did was bolt them back up and they seem level. Not surehow they could be down at one side

Did you just weld the tips or the whole piece? If the whole piece I assume the black smoke comes straight out the back if you put your foot down?

Looks good mate, nice cheap mod too!

Although as above, those tailpipes don't look quite right, on jeeganesh's photo above they sit straight as an arrow but on yours they seem to droop a little to the sides. That would bug me.

Maybe take some more pics from another angle?
