So I got out the welder today and made up a 'new' 3" straight through exhaust. I had to buy a 90deg mandrel bend, an new 2 bolt flange, and found a second hand 3" Apexi cannon locally for $50. All up I spent less than $100. The bige bonus: The twin 2.5" system with Trust mufflers weighed 21.5kg. The 3" single with the Apexi weighs 9.5kg. The actual muffler is the heaviest piece. Stainless is heavy.
It is bloody loud. Not much quieter than it was with no exhaust. I might have to actually buy a decent straight through muffler, perhaps one of the Hooker Aero Chamber currently on ebay for $100.
I should have been doing the diff and subframe bushes, but that was too much like hard work. I got the diff out, burnt out the old bushes and fitted the new ones, but the rear diff bushes in the subframe need some more effort.
