the only shit bit is the hangers they are supplied with make the exhaust hang VERY low!
i made my own hangers.. problem solved!

they aren't the loudest of zorsts, on tickover its quiet, mind you its always parked next to my mates saxo with a powerflow so you cant hear mine :P

mines quite loud when giving it some beans but i've got a manifold\decat :)

yep. you could move the hangers round to set your height. but with having no bumper recess it hung so low

4inch isnt huge tho is it? im just after a decent sounding one dont want one loud.

Could just adjust the height of the exhaust tip using rubbers cudnt i?

i did with my old one, which backbox was massive and a think it was a 5 inch oval.

Will tht be the difference from a 1.1 to a 1.4, mine not stick out as much being a diff exhaust setup?

you will want to cut the the cup insert down which slides into the backbox. You will see what i mean when you get it.
This is because it causes the tip to stick out very far from the car.
As for the hangers just get some shorter rubbers and adjust the hangers accordingly

nice mate, nice angle huh :y:

Im worried about mine looking stupid coz its at standard ride height.. yours will suit it due to it being slammed, how much ur suspension setup cost ya?

pm me now,
no welding is needed. There is an insert which you have to push into the backbox so it can mount to standard centre section.
It requires cutting down before pushing into the back as its actually designed for the centre pipe to cat joint
