Looking good Ape, they sound good with DeCAT and with full 100 cell CAt so your onto a winner.
The front Lambda is a bit of a PITA.
Drop the subframe and the whole job is much easier.
I used a reciprocating saw to cut the front OEM DP exhaust mount, this makes removal so much easier.
Get plenty of plus gas onto the Lamdba's ASAP and they should come out easily.
Mine were in for 7 years and 104,000 miles and plus gas did the job.

Ape, the joins are flush so ordinary exhaust paste should be good enough.
I'm having an issue with a crappy bagk box flange made by a Powerflow dealer.
In trying to get that joint to seal I used normal exhaust paste and exhaust silicone.
The slilcone feels more confidence inspiring but in my case this didn't work, but nothing would in my case.
I cannot find the link to it but there are a few different ones available at your local motor factors

Well, it's been a good day.

I fudged up the calipers that Hilla had sprayed. Although I think the paint I bought was wrong as it hadn't cured (it's been a week). I lacquered the calipers but being the impatient sod I am, got the decals on too early and the lacquer had reacted with the paint. Back to square 1 on that, (sorry bud).

On a better note, the Blueflame system is on, without removing the sub frame. It's just sooting up now and sounds fantastic. Not overly loud on tickover, not too loud when on the move unless you hoof it and as soon as the boost comes on, the note changes again. Very happy with it, thanks to Damien @ DPM for supplying it so quickly.

My only issue is... since fitting it I've blown 2 boost hoses off already :cartman: will be replacing all the clips / clamps now to prevent anymore disappearing :D

im toying with either blueflame or miltek, your car looks good mate completely different from anything else,

I get the impression blueflame is louder than miltek, have you heared both notes?

I've spent a bit of time in the car over last night and today to enjoy the new addition. The Spool up is much sooner and happens more freely, the boost is stronger and the power delivery is much improved.

I'll take some video's of it later, but for now here are some pics
