Fabricated and fitted today.....

Car seems more responsive,torquier,but has a rasp at all times now,and pops and bangs all the time on decelleration....

So Pipe is 63mm external diameter,into 200 cell cat ,and then flexi and then to remus....put the flexi after the cat so i didnt have to chop the front section of pipe....
Wether it will last with it there i dont no...
the obligatory pics....

excellent job Daz, well worth the effort :D

don't worry about the flexi, as long as it's in there somewhere :)

I have a 2.25in down pipe on my car leading to a 200 cell cat. I tell people who ask about the popping that it's the anti lag :LOL:

Downpipe from a 300tdi landrover defender.....£15.99 from bearmach....should be able to get it to fit on an astra no probs.....quite abit of welding involved no matter what car you try to fit it to.

the only thing i am thinking of is that the astra exhaust drops down then does a werid bent from left to right then out if you get what i mean as ur one in the pic looks like it just has one 90 bend in it
