Just fitted my new exhaust
As the title says........
Went for the Lindsey exhaust, wastegate tie-in and lindsey muffler option.
Sounds fantastic, and the turbo spools up like the tasmanian devil now. Great!!!
Off to the dyno next weekend to get the A/F right, and get some numbers. Can't wait!

I can imagine... 
Did you have it shipped to Sweden? How was the packaging etc., everything arrived in good shape..?
Also, how was the fit and finish - any problems installing it?
Thanks!!

Dave shipped it over. I've mentioned this a few times (for us euro boys) but I'll mention it again........
UPS quoted about $400. So Dave rang them up again, and asked to ship it to the nearest airport......... $150. When it got here, they rang me to arrange the duty payment, and they offered to bring it to my door for 100SEK ($10). Total saved...... $240! (same company too!) Nice one Dave. He packed it up well, and it arrived totally undamaged.
Fit and finish was excellent. It required cutting the small pipe from the wastegate to remove the joint, But everything went straight on. I wasn't convinced about the joints he provided, but If you follow the instructions, they work well. No leaks (I think, but it is nice and loud!!)
I'm almost tempted not to drink when I go out tonight so I can take the car down there and show off a bit! Bit ricerish though........ Naww, I'll get wasted. The car can wait until tomorrow.
