Carried out this mod yesterday and took her for a blast this morning, can't say the exhaust is much louder but there's definately a frequency change, noticeably below 3000 rpm, almost BMW note to the exhaust, especially a 3L beemer..... went to 13mm diameter on both sides with no drone and the ocassional blip and fart on overrun......what a ******************** to get the tailpipe bolt off from underneath...... she's a 2.7 so not welded on...pretty pleased overall
