I just need to get her clean and scratchless.
The alloys are in a ridiculous state with grease and brake dust.
The interior is imaculate. Especially for 101000 miles.
Was thinking of getting a set is zafira gsi alloys or the 5 spoke zafira ones.
Not going to do a lot. Going to try to keep it original'ish.

cut off the old one just behind the cat jointgot a length of 2" straight pipe used pipe bender to shape, had a peco 4 back box that i bought off a mate for £10 and welded it on
started running it on the 1st of may, decided a week later that it was too noisy and found a centre section off of a rover 200 that i scrapped and i cut the box out and welded it in to the cally
now sounds the dogs danglys. lol :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Stock V6 exhaust bore is 2.5". Custom stainless steel designs using the same bore will give improvements. A larger 2.75" bore will give greater improvements but only really effective when a larger bore is applied to the entire system (manifolds through to back box).
