Default Fabspeed RSR Exhaust Kit Fitted

All installed now - generally very satisfied with the kit as a whole.
Quality of the Stainless parts is excellent - and the fit of those items was perfect.
Slight issue with the silicon pipework not being quite the correct size and shape and as a result the additional tension in the tubing caused it to continually slide off the end of the heat exchanger tubing. I eventually sorted it by double clamping the pipework, but a rolled bead on the end of the stainless tubing would help here.
I think I may also need to trim the tail pipe exits by 3/4" or so to get the tail pipes to centre exactly in the openings - they are currently slid as far as possible onto the exit pipes, but they are still slightly wide in the openings for my likes.
Another point worth noting - I did not realise that the final section of the under tray would be impossible to fit with this system. Not an issue in warm, dry sunny climes, but not so good in the wet, salt laden road conditions of Europe for the undersides of the engine / trans etc - more reasons to give it a good wash all round after every drive I guess!!

Sound is definitely much louder than I expected, but has a very good tone to it and a nice "burble" at idle - it will definitely require some restraint on the "loud pedal" in and around the local villages!!
