    looks like a Jetex / BSR rear system to me, good buy if it is, mine has done 7 years and still going strong (same can't be said for the exhaust clamps, they rotted through last year), I think it looks great.

    Spot on mole t5r, it is indeed a Jetex/bsr from pfs. I'm no engineer but looks solid enough to me. It's fairly quiet compare to some but that suits me, going on a 450km trip tomorrow so will see what it's like noise wise on a run.

    Gav, I know what your getting at but Im not keen on tailgates that are missing badges especially volvos, look abit bare, incomplete in my eyes.

    Looks good mate, and leave the badges, it justs adds a little insult to the injury as you disappear into the distance

    Looks good to me

    If eventually it doesn't warm to you then you could always swap the trim with something else

    It's a bit in your face as its new. Once it's lost its new shine it will blend in a bit better. Give it a few months.

    Looks good - I have exactly the same on my 850R, although i've removed two boxes so its a 'bit' louder!

    I like it...

    Personally I'd remove all the badging on the right and just replace with 850
