Default Non Ford but my new car :)

Been a non ford owner for a wee while now like most of this year but after buying a new pup and having a german shephard had to get a new car hense the estate.

Here's how it started







Then bought these



Then fitted them







Then got the new wheels fitted





Bit of camber anyone?





And next to my dads standard SXI gives you the drop i acheived



And all this for Koda (Malamute Puppy) and Bo (German Shephard)



Comments welcome on my Vectrabus

I just got one of those fitted a month or two back. Looking for a rear splitter as the bumper doesn't come as low as the later models.

Very quiet actually. Have standard centre box and it doesn't make much extra noise at all. I replaced it as my standard back-box outer skin was corroded so got a cheap bargain Irmscher to replace it. Have been advised NOT to get a remus centre section as they are straight through and reverberate quite a bit & make it noisy outside & inside.

I'm on the lookout for a centre section with a small silencer in which will increase the noise and output overall but keep it generally quiet, esp on a run: this is my daily driver so didn't want it too noisy anyway. Plus I work shifts so coming home 2/3/4am with a noisy car is not good and didn't want that.

Haven't got any side pics, but it doesn't stick out too much if that's what you were worried about. You can hear it a bit, but not a great deal as you'd expect to be honest.

Cheers for the feedback info.In loking for a bit of noise after owning so many grumbly noisy cars this is too quite for me so im opisite to you lol but hopefully will see a good difference with straight through pipe for added decibels
