After 4 years of flawless ownership the gremlins are back.

As the older members here will remember i modded my first FTO to a high standard and spent a fortune on it which you can never recover when selling so i made a conscience decision when i bought my second FTO i wasn't going to mod it and up untill now (a set of alloys aside and a stainless down pipes upgrade) i have resisted the interiour i took from my old fto before selling (advantages of having 2 at the same time just a quick swap :D ) downpipes because of a hole on them. and alloys because a gop a pin hole leak thru one of the alloys and couldn't be arsed fixing it (now sitting out in the shed awaiting me to get it repaired.) But now the last 2 weeks have been a pain first my alarm gives up the ghost so that is getting replaced hopfully he'll have it this wknd it should have been done last wknd. and then a hole in my exhaust. now this is where the modding come in......................

Just got fitted a nice new shinny Quad exhaust yes i did say QUAD exhaust, custom made by Cyborg, and awesome looking will have to get out the camera and take pic's He said when he first fit it that it Was way too loud so he has had to fit a second backbox, it was added inbetween the cat and regular backbox position. problem is now with this on i just know i'm going to add more and more... once you pop you just can't stop..... :D

Daz....

Ps i forgot also a facelift upgrade..... dam i've modded more than i realised :lol:

Hahaha - Once you pop you can't stop!

It's an affliction!

Just out of interest - how much did you pay for the custom quad system?

Oh and have you any pictures?

It might be my imagination but it feels more responsive and seams to accelrate quicker and thats still with the cat fitted (my request as it's due its test then i'll get the de-cat fitted) with the added back box cruizing on the motorway (at 70ish honest :smt083 ) is pleasent, not a pounding on the ears but when you floor it, it screams just the way i like it, keeps the cops of my back for noise pollution.
:D

it was £360 (sterling remember) and an aditional £60 for the de-cat pipe. so £420 all in including fitting. I have one pic on my phone as i haven't found my camera yet, need to do that as i've had a few people asking for pic's on the leather interiour, was sure there were loads of it on this site but not enough of the back or something so need to get some of that, but if you can't wait for me to find my camera pm me your phone number and i'll send on the pic from my phone. not sure how to get it from my phone to the web like i've seen done.
