Hi there - a shot of my new exhaust system. Thanks to Neil and Gary who did the build and fitting and all the advice on the ALSC site - we decided on 2.25" pipes, mandrel bent, MIG welded with X Pipe and hot-dogs through to Redbacks and round tips added later. ECU had a steep learning curve - result - awesome!

Thanks Maurice - It was Gary Lethbridge at Road and Race Exhaust Tech in Hornsby who did the fabrication and fitting including Neil's headers (of course).

Was the Airbag switch in the boot off when the car was jacked up? From what I recall its very important not to have it turned on while jacking up the car, other wise it effects the airbags in some way? Id say you would have since you have a rare 97' V8 and would take extreme care of it! :-)

Very good point Mike - luckily I have had that drilled into my head from a few of the Soarer gurus - very important.
