the firenza finds its roar!

finished sorting out an exuast system i bought off ebay, its a heavily modified viva system with a lot of BMW parts in it, unfortunatley both the backboxes were rotten, so I chopped the rotten back boxes off, sorted out the rust as best i could and put on my nice chrome tips/mufflers

found out the joys of viva exhausts, a complete b****rd to remove or fit!! the manifold to downpipe flange is near impossible to get to! a foot long ratchet extension and much swearing eventually got the old one off and the new pipes fitted tho :D
Image

lovin the look almost muscle car ish :P its got one helluva roar on it now when you give it a poke!
Image

had to record a vid (rubbish quality but you get the idea) me old man was on the fun-pedal, he didnt give it too much stick as I think he was concerned about irritating the neighbours haha! Click this pic below to watch and hear it roar :twisted:

of course none of this would have been posiible if it wasnt for the help of my faithfull assistant!

Looks, on my phone, as though your faithful assistant's sticking their tongue out lol. I'm going to have to wait until I'm on my computer before I get to hear it running :-(

That sounds very sweet, not too loud, just right. Well done.
