    Thanks for the comments.

    yeah the biggest difference i noticed about the exhaust was it lat the car breathe more easily so am sure i have have gathered a few bhp.

    also black smoke is a please now that when i put the foot down it comes out the 2 beefy exhausts Click here to enlarge

    also considering its a turbo diesel, which does not generate alot of noise, it has got a nice pur to it and high up the rev scale it can sound sweet.
