I ended up getting a good deal out of them as I needed it urgently to be done in time for my staff cars section in the mag and they didnt have some bits in stock in mild so they sent me it all in stainless instead for the same money to help me out
Think it would have been about 500 retail if I had ordered stainless.
They are bolt together not weld, so I can easily either swap out silencers for straight if I want, or easily re-use on another car (probably not keeping the corsa long term) like my cliY0

Tell em to get booked up..... If I could really be arsed I'd advertise it on 100's of forums....lol
Over the past few years it's been about 50% people I "know" and 50 randoms so tell em not to worry.

Thats rubbish advice from them!
Doesn't make it any less loud. Just increases the wear on the clutch as it slips it on pull away and low speeds

I wouldn't of had a clue if he was talking rubbish or not, I'm quite far off being able to afford a 458 Italia
It was a Javelin run day but it was some smart looking fella from Palmersport that said that to him.

That's the one. We ran the car on full slicks all day and whilst the rears were dirty it had a habit of suprising you mid corner, saying that I didn't ever spin it, certainly came close though lol my mate who owns the car attempted a few backwards entrees into the odd corner in the afternoon when it got a little damp

Once I've decided on management should see 400+, more if I changed the turbo.
