lol I hope I can get around to taking a vid, it'll be hard for me to do a drive by video because I don't really have anyone who'd be willing to stand there and record it , but I can post up a clip when I switch it on in the morning but it's still really raspy, I've only put like 300km on it, so I want to drive it more for the sound to settle. Anyway here are some pics of the exhaust to keep you entertained for now, I've included a before and after pic of the drop with the JICs, I know the pic isn't clear but the bottom one is after the drop and I have it at the highest setting because the roads here are too crappy to take a risk with:















Top pic is @ stock height, bottom is with JICs at highest setting

What did you do for coating the heat wrap so it does not trap water in and destroy the pipe? The guy who did my exhaust said that you should never run heat wrap, he has seen water damage eat through every type of material they are building exhausts and manifolds out of (stainless, mild, etc).

If you have something that would protect it (and works) please let me know. I would love to wrap my exhaust.

Guys I'm currently still in Abu Dhabi, coming back on Saturday so I'll answer all you questions then because I'm browsing on my iPhone so it's annoying trying to type, thanks for the comments though.

I'll reply about the heat wrap on Saturday hopefully

Good stuff dude, cant wait to hear it when it breaks in. It'll take a few hundred to a thousand miles till its nicely broken in. Till all the white smoke has gone.

Ok just got back from UAE and it's 4:40am over here and I haven't slept for 2 days so bare with me if my typing is a bit off. Well I think it's really the picture because I was using a 10-22 lens which makes the whole picture look like a bubble. BUT the coilovers have changed the way my rear tires sit but you can't really tell from the pic. I think I'll be getting a camber kit soon.

3 days to break the exhausts in!! lol I've had mine on for like a week and a half with 500kilos on it and it still hasn't fully broken in. the rasp is really bad in the morning when it's cold but after that it doesn't rasp no where near as much but still rasp exists. Also I think so far I'm the only one on here who has these exhausts + HFCs I could be wrong but it'll probably change the exhaust note from yours I'm guessing.

Don't scare me dude lol, I did the heat wrap from people's advice on here so I pretty much took their word for it, although they didn't mention anything about the water eating into the pipes. But anyway, I used Thermo-Tech Hi heat coating spray (http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/produc...pcode=NIM12003) I hope it's enough to stop any water from getting in. The good thing is I think it rains like one or two days A YEAR!!!! over here lol and I'm not kidding, but when it rains it floods the whole city. So I can avoid most water but then sometimes we have sewerage spilling out which I have to avoid . I hope the spray does it's job, I'll let you know if I notice anything.

Hmmm sorta business with a bit of pleasure lol, I have some family living there so it was a bit of both, and yeah it's a nice place but it's really changed I mean I was there in April this year and seeing it now it's completely changed, there's sooo much construction, reminds me of Dubai (but I prefer Abu Dhabi anyway lol)

it's from a guy on here who sells them on here, his name is blue_bat if I remember correctly, here's his site: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42...an%20Overlays/ . You need to e-mail him with what you want and what finishings you'd like, I also got my rear light overlays from him as well. I think i should be getting some sort of commission from Blue_bat for the amount of business I've sent his way lol

Right it's 4:59am everyone G'night I need to sleep, I'm traveling again at 5pm to another city (within Saudi) only one and a half hours away so it won't be too bad
