Just had a new custom built cat back system installed from Top Gear in Hayes.

On booking the install I had a consultation with Taz who went through a number of options with me. This included tail pipe design and importantly for me, the type of sound I was after. I explained how I wanted a nice deep bass at idle but really wanted an aggressive sound once the revs are up and the car is being pushed a bit. Taz went through some video samples so they were sure as to what I wanted.

A few days later I took the car down. I stayed for the install and it took about 4 hours.

Once completed I noticed how much better it looked underneath the car compared to the standard exhaust. The clean stainless steel is a bit sexy! It comes a a lifetime guarantee.

On starting the car up it does have nice bass warble at idle. Just enough to know that its not a standard unit. It really comes alive once you start moving and pushing the car. Backfires so much more (you can backfire it at will if you drive it a certain way) that the standard unit. Its got a real snarl like a V6.

Overall I am very happy and glad that I went down the custom build route. Money was not an issue for me and I was looking at much more expensive systems on the market but the sound was not absolutely to my liking. A friend of mine with a Nissan GTR had his system done by Top Gear and suggested I check them out. The price was very reasonable and it just goes to show that spending less does not necessarily mean you get an inferior product!

I will upload a video of the system on You Tube so the sound can be appreciated. Will update on the link to this once done.

Now for the suspension.....
