  1. Thanks CS, I would need the Resonated one then as I don't want to annoy (well not much anyway) the neighbours. Honestly, I doubt it will be stupidly loud with standard Cats. That was mine and with de-cats/y pipe all one piece etc I was scared it would be toooo loud. But it's perfect, the back box's work miracles. What system is that, ?

  8. Drivers warned to brush up on new road tax rules or face £1,000 fine as the disc disappears from windscreens in October End to practice whereby car sellers include remaining tax in sale Drivers will no longer need a tax disc from October Onus is on the seller to inform the DVLA of ownership change The tax disc with months left to run has long been a handy money-saving perk when buying a used car, but new rules will see that benefit axed from October when they vanish from our windscreens. And motorists need to be aware of impending tax disc changes or face a £1,000 fine as well as potential penalty charges against a car they no longer own, experts warn. Automatic number plate recognition cameras enforcing road tax will end any tax disc is in the post excuses and spell penalties for those who forget to renew, while those buying and selling used cars will need to make doubly sure everything is done by the book. The death of the tax disc has been well documented. It was revealed thas the Government was plotting its demise back in 2012 and the change was officially announced in last year’s Autumn Statement. Yet experts at hpicheck.com say many drivers are likely to get caught out and now realise that the end of the tax disc will also see a tightening of enforcement. From 1 October 2014, the Driving Vehicle and Licensing Agency will stop issuing paper tax discs and instead make the system digital. Drivers will instead have the option to pay via Direct Debit or via the Post Office. Car owners still need to have paid vehicle tax to drive or keep a vehicle on the road, but police cameras will automatically check a car’s number plate to establish if this has been paid. The move away from paper discs will save motorists money on postage and will offer more flexible payment options, while it will also make it harder for tax dodgers to drive untaxed. Estimates show it will save the taxpayer £10million every year. It spells the end of the iconic tax disc, which firstappeared in 1921. The new rules also reinforce the onus on used car sellers to inform the DVLA of the change of ownership. HPI provider, hpicheck.com, warns those caught unaware could face fines and charges. This means for used car buyers, the vehicle tax will no longer be transferred while those selling can claw back unused tax. Shane Teskey, senior consumer services manager at hpicheck.com, said: ‘Sellers who fail to inform the DVLA, could be fined and they will still be liable for any speeding or parking fines and vehicle tax for a car they don’t even own any more. ‘We remind sellers to always send the V5C to the DVLA, rather than relying on the buyer to do it. And if they scrap a vehicle, they should get a Certificate of Destruction from an authorised treatment facility.’ The DVLA said it is important to notify it straight away of a change to ownership, otherwise the registered keeper could still be liable for the vehicle. This means that those who sell their car need to get forms filled in and sent off straight away rather than leaving them sat around. Failure to do so can also result in a £1,000 fine. Shane added: ‘We’re hoping that the new DVLA initiatives will make it harder for dodgy drivers to head out on the road untaxed. ‘It’s easy to check if your vehicle is taxed by heading online at the Vehicle Enquiry Service, making this the first step for anyone planning to sell their vehicle and avoid the risk of fines.’
  9. Not a bad price for a P3 from a garage you can trust if it included plugs and belts as well. .
  10. I'm glad that as a Dad I don't have to go through that again, "will they wont they"..
  11. I have bought a new SS Cobra back box from a Member on here and have a few questions. Will it bolt straight onto the existing original centre pipe without any modifications. ? Is it worth changing the orignal centre pipe. ? Will there be much difference in sound with just the Cobra back box and no other mods to it. If I was to change the centre section, what's the best to go for, taking into account my wallet..!!
