I know :lol: apparently not needed if you have the other 3 but great if you just want the traction bar.
Oh sorry bud, misinterpreted what you said ;)

Still wouldnt have one as you need the hard engine mounts to use one. Never putting hard engine mounts on again. Completely ruined the car and enjoyment.

On 75a mounts definitely. I never realized how much the chassis resonates with the engine until I went back to stock. So loud.

No. Fecking htune are being idiots. They are waiting for it to arrive from the usa but keep telling me it will arrive this week, it will arrive next week etc etc.
I booked tomorrow off over 3 weeks ago in anticipation to get the exhaust fitted, sports cat made up, crank pulley swapped liver and an MOT as it ran out last month.

I though 3 weeks, that's plenty of time for it to arrive as it was due to arrive on the 2nd October. But no. They failed. No exhaust :(

Well that sucks! :roll: No doubt you'll get an extra packet of sweets to make up for it though ;) :lol:

Doesn't look to be many other options in the UK for Invidia though, so it probably would have been the same story wherever you went :roll:

:shock:

Still no exhaust. Contacted htune again and I eventually get this response.

Scott, it's Leo again.

I've just been looking through your order, I can't believe you've been waiting so long on your exhaust from Invidia. We get in weekly shipments and it's simply sitting there on our backorders list with them each week not dispatching. I can see Scott here had reached out a couple of times asking for an update and was simply told they don't have an availability date yet.

Instead of leaving you sitting here waiting longer in the dark, I'm going to get you refunded in full for the moment. I know it's not exactly what you want, but I do have a feeling this will drag out longer and I don't want to further frustrate you.

If you definitely want this particular exhaust and are happy to wait, watch the product page on our website for when it says "In Stock at Supplier" and your delivery date will be guaranteed. Unfortunately right now, I simply don't know how long it could be.

To make up for the big wait, if there's anything else you require from us, come talk to me and I'll make sure I discount you as best I can for the inconvenience.


So I can only assume of I buy the invidia from another company I'm still going to be waiting on invidia.
