They fitted an exhaust as standard to my 3.2 as I could get it. (I've got a good standard 3.2 back box going if anyone is interested)





It's nice and quiet (except when I go over 4,000rpm )

I got 65% tints all round too:

[VXL V6]

Did you get the Lambda's moved? Be interested to see if the codes come back or (hopefully) not.  

[JonArgraig]

Got any pics from the rear ?

[Growler]

Stunning, that looks really smart.

The one on the driver's side has been moved back, but the one on the near side was solidly jammed. I had a lambda thread put into the new exhaust behind the main CAT ready on that side too and just need to go and buy a new sensor on Monday. I'll keep you posted.

I'll take some tomorrow, but you'll see that they look pretty standard. EDIT: See edited 1st post on this thread.

Cheers again

[HolyCount]

[tunnie]

that looks fantasic, how much was the system?

[batista]

very nice,love the colour..how much did the tints cost you,thinking of getting mine tinted...

[Mr Skrunts]

Love the exhaust and the tints.  

How does it fair on the police legal thing on the tints, how dark can we go before they have a complaint.  I would like to go as dark as possible on my ELite

Thanks Tunnie, I tried to go as close to the standard twin pipes as I could: £389 all in. That is full duplex cat-back just the same as the standard 3.2 system and includes the extra lambda bosses/plugs.

Thanks buddy. The 7 windows were £280.

Strictly speaking; as dark as you like behind the middle door jambs, complete "limo" black-out if you like. In front 0% beyond what is on your car when it comes out of the factory. I think there is an official figure of about 25%, I'm sure someone will come along with the correct information, but it depends on how silly you are and the mood of the plod as to whether they're going to bother with you.

I think if you were diving like an arse and then gave them lip when they stopped you they would make a point of it, but generally if you're driving within the law and they are not blacked out they seem to turn a blind eye.

I have driven past many police cars now and they have not said anything at all. There are many cars in Bedford with tints at least as dark. I think the location of the police force is a factor too to be honest.

The picture makes the tints look darker than they are; you can actually see into the car fine if you look carefully, it just seems to blur the features of the people inside rather than totally obscure. The best bit for me is how much cooler the interior stays when the car has been sitting in the sun all day.

When you're inside the car you can't really tell they're tinted.

That looks really good. Just got my 2 front windows tinted again.

£389 is very reasonable. Cheaper than retail prices on GM kit.
