Uh Oh New parts: Now with new pics and a VID!
So thought I would let you guys in on my little secret:
Yes thats Right I just got my supersprint exhaust in from BMP Design, looks great and if all goes to plan it will go on the car tomorrow. As you can see by the yellow box I also got a Schroth Rally 4 belt for autoX and track events. I also just put these back on today with new Hanhook Rs2 Z212s:
I will get you guys some pics after everything is back together and I will try to get a cammera to get a clip of the new noise.

Its on the car and sounds pretty great, I do need to adjust it a little, i'm currently touching the top of the rear valence and its making a big rattle about 3k, so I need to add some more preload to one of my hangers to bring it down a little, pics to come soon, hopefully some video before too long too.

Okay here are the pics and a quick vid for sound, sorry the vid sucks i did it tonight and with a shitty digital cammera, I will try to get a better one in the next week or so. Next nice day I will go take some fresh pics for everyone.

The fitment was perfect, supersprint did a really great job making it fit right in, I used completly new parts for everything from the rubber hangers to the clamps and all new nuts and bolts. My install took longer then expected due to a rounded nut in a hard to reach place (above the pipe with a silencer right behind it so i couldn't get any space to bash the extractor on), I had to cut just before the silencer on the old one with a sawsall to get at the bolt to get it out with some extra brute force (extractor). The only adjustments I had to do where positioning the hangers and clamps, I adjusted it today because it was hitting and have it to a much better placement but I might try to move it slightly more in the next few days.
I am also really pleased with its sound, its not too loud at idle and then comes to life above 3k and when you stomp on it. Makes a great sound for a great 4 banger engine.
