I like it, make me want a bigger intercooler though It also has different tips now to fill the hole a bit better... and no muffler in the rear, just straight through pipes.

Also have you had any issues with droning or anything similar after replacing the rear muffler with straight through pipes?Has there been any warranty implications by your dealer at all?CheersAsh.

(nothing like the drone the XB gets at 100... which is bad enough to make me go 120 )Dont know what ford will think of it, havent had it in there yet since its been done.I assume they wont mind as long as I dont try to claim an exhaust related warranty issue.

Not sure what sort of visual mods I am going to carry out, except for, a dark tint, rear section of the exhaust and swapping the 19" rims for a set of factory 18"s but I think that will be about it.Cheers,Ash.
