They do seem to have a tendancy to self-destruct on supercharged cars burt some are absolutely fine. Personally I would think it would be a bit too loud.

I would be tempted to go for a 8x24 2bular job, if you can actually get Jim to make one before Xmas 2010. :lol:

Try to keep up Dan - I do. :lol:

If you really want slow service, try Grampian Fasteners. I was persuaded to give Abdn another chance after seeing them mentioned on here - never again.

Opposite experience for me. Gary produced what I wanted at short notice and at an unbeatable price.

Gary has been spot on everytime I've dealt with him, from ordered tools for work and fasteners for the car. Even got stuff next day for me that he didn't have in stock. Cant fault Grampian Fasteners at all.

ECU has been sent to the states to be reflashed. Car was on the Dyno on Monday for the "Before" run. Will post the graph up when I get two minutes to scan it.

Yup! :thumbsup

Sorry Jim. Don't think there's any need for the abuse. I've never had a problem with you but its well known your delivery times and customer service are inconsistent at best! That's why I said what I said, as I can't really recommend your product and then end up looking like a twat when you don't deliver.

Anyhoo! Euan has an exhaust now so time to move on methinks. :wink:

Yup, the lightweight Ultra. Unfortunately, there's too many numpties out there who hung on the end of it when fitting/refitting it and broke the perf core away from the end-caps. I sent you a replacement FOC, so all the best.

Dan, I've moved on mate. I carry all the popular 2bular exhausts in stock and I don't deal with the trade any more - so we're both happy.
