just to update the original post the exhaust is a 2 1/4 inch all the way with upgraded extractors ( rushed that post relished i can't edit it) a lot has happened since i posted up the pics a month ago i grinded and welded a plate in the wheel well and around the rubbers to stop leaks from the rust I've painted the hole boot black and sound deadener everywhere i can ( carpet goes down anyway) cleaned and polished up the garnish and tail lights put stokies on the rear because the vy's have no more tred ( dam hate having an money) pics from this to this Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
