I have my exhaust system replaced in Exhaust world by Peter today, from the cat all the way to muffler, and I got a dual muffler too. Now the sound is just so good. Thanks for spikey recommended.

I think that calls for a video/sound clip.
C'mon, you know you want to.

I'd love to watch the video, but you click watch and it comes up private. Even when I log onto youtube.
You might wanna try again. I'm twitching to hear it. I love a good exhaust.

Please try again now guys, the sound is not that clear as I am in the garage. The echo is quite loud and the iphone mic is not that good.

Standard size with better flow, I chose dual muffler because I don't want it too loud. I know how annoying it is when a very loud car pass by.

Pete is a great guy!
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Installed racing beat endlinks and learnt the different between a lock nut and jam nut. Took a bit of strength and time because the car is too low :P

Give my engine bay a new look. Bought some silicone hoses from ebay and engine dress up kit. Spent couple hours in the garage and finally done.
