to cap it off she had a nice flowery pillow on the drivers seat to make it more comfortable hehe :)
Just a general question really and its probably a stupid one but my exhaust is blowing like a mofo from the shitty clamp which holds the decat to the centre section.

i was waiting to pull out of a junction and join a queue a traffic behind a new range rover. i was in 2 minds as to whether to join the traffic or turn right and go home because the traffic was pretty bad due to a fatal car crash in town.
whilst i was weighing up whether to join the queue i saw...

i might be putting the standard exhaust back on so i can save a bit of money and was wondering what people reckon a fair sale price would be?

its cat back and will be all polished up and shiny...
