can i have a look at the exhaust. pm your address.

im interested in the exhaust . i could take a look im not far away. if its ready to bolt straight onto the cat. i could go to £100 and collect for free.

who is the user name?

over 200 bhp should think.

you need the adapter that the sensor screws into.

is that complete with the mounting block ? thats a very good price.
