          No, black leather, but had an oil pressure problem, and bodywork is a bit untidy.

                Great looking exhaust mate, looks really nicely made. Must admit I agree with Az, I would sacrifice 2 or 3 for the nicer OEM style twin pipes
                So this must be nearly ready for mapping now surely? Its only 6 months late

                  Who was used to fabricate the exhaust?

                    I'd go one into two for the tail pipe with 2 pipes as big as you can fit in the bumper cutout.

                    Either that or just slash cut the big round one, it would look much better. I went for oval on my coupe and never really been happy, would prefer twin slash cuts.

                      I told Will I wanted twins and he said it'd perform better with a single 3". I was going to settle for a squared oval shape, possibly black carbon fibre. But the fact it came back round and cut, not even rolled, I didn't like it. I'll see what my options are when I go see him Tuesday, depending if the weather's good or not.

                      *edit: I just added a couple more pics of the exhaust welds

                      There's no doubt it's beautifully made, Will designed it but got someone else to put it together, can't remember who or why cos Will's got skillz when it comes to welding.

                        Exhaust looks really nice indeed except for what already has been said. But will it not be 'boomy' while driving?

                          You would not be able to measure a difference in flow between the two. Get it changed for how you want it

                            My original request was that it was quiet. The subtle deep bass of the exhaust note would be the signature that it has power! That's what I want most, that it's fairly quiet. I find that much more 'sinister' than an all out loud, racing/boy racer's exhaust...

                              A lad called Badger does his exhaust work. He has his own welding shop.

                              Looks good to me Charlie. That back end shot looks the nuts. If you aint happy with the table pipe have it changed.

                              Love the Noggy. I had a look when I was down to collect my Dad's A6 the other week.

                                Pound says that it's going to be loud.

                                Haha.
