Sounds good James, glad to hear. By the way, welcome! X and H pipes have been shown to improve engine performance, can't remember how... but a good idea none the less. Ours have a resonator James, and it is like a long X pipe, just not very wide in diameter at the ends. There is an article available on X pipes and testing on here I think, I'll have a look for the link.

Cheers guys! Daniel that does sound pretty damm good! It's a fair way to go from Geelong where I live, but if it means I get a good job done then I'll def consider it!
Was your exhaust stainless steel and mandrel bent Daniel? And a noticeable difference in power? Mind if I ask what it set you back for just the exhaust system & not the headers? All I'll be getting done so far will be the exhaust system cat back, the headers will have to wait I'm thinking.

Bit of an update. Car has been serviced, new engine mounts, gearbox mounts, spark plugs, oil filter, air filter.
As of today, a new catback exhaust from Croydon exhaust fix. Fixed that droning noise. Car drives very well now, except I'm now in the belief that it needs bigger brakes, they are woefully inadequate.
Next up will be bfi. I'll make a youtube vid of the exhaust for those interested!

Like Daniel, I've recently changed from Airbags to JZA80 Bilsteins with trd springs. Straightforward process. I'm keeping my airbags if I wish to change back later. The handling is much better, looks lower. Still needs a wheel alignment. Car is much stiffer and is a little harder.
