One inlet goes in on bottom pipe from one side and other inlet goes in on top,, vica verca for outlets,, pipe work was made out of flexi pipe to get shape then parts bought off ebay to make them,, about 2 hours labour and 85 pound in bits,, not to happy with tail pipes at the minute , keep searching ebay for 997 ones but silly money.. Hope this helps,,

It's a shame all that hard work can't be seen!

I bet it sounds pretty nice too.

ive had it out on the road the last few days, quite surprised it flew through the mot even thou its been ripped to pieces in the last few months,,, really happy with the exhaust, and very surprised how much more responsive it is, acceleration is a lot faster, also sounds lovely under load and very quite ticking over and cruising, still not quite finished yet waiting on front led inicators and tail pipes but heres a couple of pics so far

Looking good, tattoo-1. I know that is a lot of hard work. Post some more pics when you get the last bits installed.
