When I bought the car it had a sebring system fitted. It turned out later on to be an 8v backbox and the first pipe was knocking on the transmission tunnel. The backbox then started blowing and so I decided to get a proper system.

Watching the classifieds on mig I stumbled across a custom system that had come off an ex donnington race car. It is in only two pieces, only has two boxes and its all tig welded.

Armed with only some ramps and and trolley jack I took on the challenge. It turned out to be easier than I expected. Once I removed the old system I found it to be standard except the 8v sebring backbox, not what I was told :rolleyes:

I now have a full stainless system that is a perfect fir, doesnt knock and doesnt blow :D

Nicely, good work :cool:

It's a nice feeling of satisfaction when you do it yourself and it all fits and works ok.
