    I just think on an N/A car with modest torque that piping should be fine. If it was a turbo car, the slight bend reductions might be a cause for slight concern in terms of absolute best flow but on n/a it too free-flowing can harm things, which is why I think de-cats pipes are not often favoured.
    How do you know it's 300bhp?!

      Because it's a S50, not a S54....

          Get some photos up with the spacers. I run 15 and 12mm I think and it looks so much better than stock!

          For clarity I was asked how I knew it was a custom exhaust, so I answered, I also think it will be more than adequate for 300bhp, especially when you see the diff exhaust pipe design in the Rockape thread.

                      I machine polished the car last weekend on the roof and bonnet, still awaiting the rest.

                      Also had the stainless exhaust fitted, it sounds much better than the guttedoem back boxes

                          Martin - looks good!

                          Is the right side at an angle or is it an optical illusion?

                            Probably just needs some adjustment

                              MOT passed today with no advisories.

                              The tester commented on how good a condition she is in

                                I've not done a great deal since the major overhaul, the car has been running sweet ever since. Only issue was an abs sensor that went wrong.

                                I did take it around Silverstone national for 30 mins a couple of weeks ago. The car ran faultlessly, with awesome handling round the corners and really stuck to the track, and excellent traction.

                                It was part of a taster session with only 6 cars on track so loads of room. There'll be another taster day in March if anyone is interested?
