Maz the pictures just dont do the craftmanship any justice. THIS HAS TO BEEN SEEN IN THE FLESH:drool::drool::drool:. As to the unique exhaust noise all I can say is it's very close sound wise to what 200sx and skyline owners get when they blank off the actuator kind of a very loud pigeon flutter.

Yeah it will. Really wish they made the LCR in that colour. Hopefully you'll be able to do mine before the RR day. Oh by the way if you're tail pipe goes missing it wasn't me:whistle::whistle::whistle:

Cheers Willie appreciate it!

Well worth it Alex.

I forgot to ask how long did it take and I take it you just asked them replace the OEM stuff or did you go in with a design in mind? Was this expensive? (you don't have to tell me if you don't want to)
Sorry for the questions, interested minds and all that :D

I had the sfs stuff on when they started to work on the car so they knew the route roughly. We just agreed that it needed to be adjusted in certain areas before hand. When they were changing over the pipes they phoned me and ask questions on how I wanted things done. They had the car for a week.

It was expensive yes but you are paying for the quality at the end of the day.

Hayward and Scott: Boost Pipes and Exhaust
-----

Spent today washing and cleaning the car.

Looks like the protection I put back in June is now wearing off as the water sheeting and beading isnt as tight on some panels. Looks like I am going to have to give her a full paint correction detail in feburary ready for AMD RR.

Nicest compliment of the day was a pass by asked me if I was selling her as he walks past it every day and loves it.

As promised here are pictures of my new exhaust and pipes.

More power

ECU has adapted today and definitely more responsive and quicker than before. I don't think I have gained peak BHP but definitely more power over the whole rev range. I love it!

When i saw the exhaust for the first time yesterday, i wasnt to keen on it, but after seeing from these pictures, i think it has grown on me. Boost pipes look a top job too, just shows hayward and scotts work, sfs take months to try and design PD150 boost hoses, and hayward and scott take not even a week, top marks to them from me ;)

To be fair we have to give props to SFS, they did spend time developing the kit for the tdi and listened and adapted the product when asked. Glad you like it mate, the car was filthy yesterday and exhaust was covered in all sorts of road grime and soot from me enjoying it.

Exhaust looks much better clean:cartman:. Can't wait to hear it on the rollers
Yea the car was absolutely filthy yesterday. Took ages to clean today.

What a minter :D I'm liking your Exhaust
Cheers mate.

EDIT:
Minor update to my initial post. Car adapted to new hardware and gosh is she quick now, much more power over the range.
