Got a few days of work, so decide to change my exhaust, to the complete stainless system i bought from Madmax.

To start on on the passenger side, as i thought it was the worst.

Since my zed was built only the boxes have been changed to Mongoose. After getting the pre cat off and getting to the tricky 4 x bolts that held it on, all off, new back box and decat in place. Cant do middle x section till ive done other side

Drivers side, 2 nuts at the bottom were only on hand tight, another bolt a bit easier, but the last remaining bolt was a total coont. You have to get your hand between the bulkhead, a heat shield that cant come off due the the nuts are fooked and a welded in O2 sensor, after nearly 3 hours of trying every spanner, socket, bar, and what else i could hit it with it gave in.

Hands all bruised, smoked stack loads of ciggies, sworn at my son, and he did same in return, blamed the japs for making no space to get at anything. Shouted at the dog for crapping in a neighbours garden.

What a horrible job to remove original downpipes.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Have the system on and it looks superb, just a few bits tomorrow to do.

Stick with it these cars are an emotional rollercoasters, they bite hiss kick and spit sometimes. Be satisfying when you beat some sense into it.

If you would have been closer mate we could have swapped jobs yesterday haha.

Good to see you got there in the end mate, good man :)

hi stu, can you come and pick your dog crap up please...anytime after 10am
