@EvilDmen I remember hearing good things about the APEXi WS2 when I used to use PreludeOnline many years ago. It's tempting but it's a single large tail pipe where I prefer the standard twin pipe look. Also, I currently can't use eBay as I'm going through a dispute with those fuckers!

Here's my rather OCD preparation for my forthcoming new exhaust. I gave the exhaust heat shield a wipe with white spirits, dried it off then gave it a coat of Hycote VHT silver-grey spray paint which is good for up to 550c. The heat shield goes from the cat to rear silencer. I know there's a bit of untidy overspray on the exhaust, but it's gonna be replaced on Wednesday so doesn't matter.

How you decided what exhaust you are getting?

2.5" stainless steel cat back with twin tail pipes courtesy of Solid Fabrications. I'm considering 2x 3.0" tail pipes with no inner pipe. I emailed them on Tuesday but haven't heard back yet. Car is booked in for Wednesday.

Exhaust was fitted Wednesday last week but had to return today as agreed as they didn't have the correct size tailpipes in stock. They temporarily fitted 2x 2" tailpipes until today when I returned for 2x 3" tailpipes.

Please excuse the paint damage on the rear skirt, planning on getting that sorted before the summer.
