    Custom 2.5" cat back exhaust made today...

    Just thought i would pass on my gratitude to anyone thinking of going custom and not buying an aftermarket.

    I have to say a big thanks to the guys down at Fast road conversions in Ashford for doing a blinding job on my R today. The drive back was an absolute pleasure and the difference is day and night.

    Here's the job....

    Car on ramps ready to go...


















    I will try and do a cold start video tomorrow morning, weather pending.

    I wanted OE look at the rear. Parts of the rear section were Tig welded for asethetics the rest Mig. All fully SS and comes complete with a lifetime warranty!!

    Well done Fast road conversions of Ashford, Kent.

    The drive home was a delight. The noise is awesome without being obtrusive into the cabin. It's slightly quieter than my BSR system but then i did have the resonator section removed.
    The noise on WOT is truly amazing. It sings. brilliant.
    Total cost was £440 inc vat.

    Top quality custom exhaust. I can't believe it's quieter than your BSR exhaust, I would have expected it to be louder. You could have opted not to have the rear muffler, but then it would have been a bit too loud.... like mine ;-)

    Good value for money too.

    Looks great mate, custom exhausts are the way to go!
    I had a shop build a catback for my 480, will get a full system built for the V70 when I can afford it!

    Cheers Bill! When i had the BSR on i had removed the resonator section. I could have put it back on, but i thought it was too quiet. Without rear muffler it would have droned because the estate boots act like amplifiers. On a saloon it may have been ok? Who knows. I am very pleased with the oe look . I'll post more daylight photos tomorrow. We must meet up so you can have a butchers.

    Great job, how much did they charge mate? I'm in Dover and might use these from now on.

    The car went on the ramps at about 9am and drove off about 3:15pm. That includes a 30 minute stop for lunch.
