decat no problem for the MOT, deisel mot only checks for smoke.

quick tip for the down pipe, jack up the body with the wheels on the ground, makes it easier to get the pipe out/in

Rear pipe arrived today and fitted without any dramas, hardest part is putting the rubber mounts on!! Spot on Tim about raising the body with wheels down, gives lots of room to get it right. Fitted loose and noticed it was high at the end, simply twisted it about 15 degrees to get it in the right position.
Front pipe should be here tomoz
Thx for the help lads.

Front pipe now done too
hearing that lovely turbo alot better now and pick up seems alot better too!
Recommend doin this to anyone.
