BulletMagnet Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Finally got around to ditching the JapSpeed K2 and replacing it with a "proper" exhaust So after keeping my eye on online tracking for the last two days, this finally arrived on my doorstep. Opened box to check contents... Opted for the single layer burnt titanium tips So after it arrived I was pretty knackered, since the last 48 hours had involved little sleep (12-hour nightshift, followed by a trip to Wheel Genie to pick up wheels, followed by another nightshift, followed by waiting another five and a half hours after shift end for DHL van to show up ), but I thought, sod it, since it's here, lets go get it fitted At the fiters we set about taking the JapSpeed off, which involved heating up some nuts and bolts and then this happened Anyway, after it was off we set about fitting the Invidia, which was very straight forward since all parts are labelled (just remember that the labels are for a LHD car ) And BOOM, it's on I have to say, it's a beautiful exhaust, the welds are pure quality, the whole system just looks and feels "right" Went out for a quick drive and noticed an odd smell and also saw some whitish smoke coming out the rear, but then I remembered I saw some white compound of sorts inside the piping, so took the Zed onto the dual carriageways to give it a little blow through All in all, I could not be happier with my Invidia, especially after having had two JapSpeeds before. Big thanks go out to Tarmac for selling this to me and organising the very fast delivery (From Los Angeles to Ipswich in less than 48 hours ) ***EDIT*** I do like my new lens (Canon 50mm f/1.8 II) ***EDIT*** Video added Edited March 5, 2013 by BulletMagnet Quote

Ian Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Very nice, much better than the Japspeed He could have fitted a few pieces of drain pipe and it would have been better quality that Crapspeed 3 Quote
Tomy Redeye Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Tarmac supplied mine as well! Great service and a quality bit of kit! Think mine was installed incorrectly though as the drivers side pipe between the xpipe and back box is hanging a few inches off the floor! Quote

Prolly upside down, as it needs to go past the diff OVER the antirollbar, hope this helps Edited February 14, 2013 by BulletMagnet Quote

Tomy Redeye Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Here's a picture of mine for comparison! Definitely fitted wrong! Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 14, 2013 Author Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Here's a picture of mine for comparison! Definitely fitted wrong! Yeah, deffo upside down, show Dixon my pic and clip him round the ears, lol I have also noticed something else, yours has flexis, mine hasn't, mine has interference fit instead Edited February 14, 2013 by BulletMagnet Quote
Arran Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 That's a nice looking exhaust, although isn't the left tip sitting slightly higher than the right? Could be the angle maybe. Definitely looking forward to a video! Quote

Definitely looking forward to a video! Yeah, I noticed that, but I'll hold off for a few days and see how it sits. Last time, with the K2, I adjusted it to sit perfectly straight, only to have it go out of line again after a few weeks, guess it needs some heat cycles to settle down, so I'll wait for that first Will deffo try and get a video done, just gotta wait for the weather to improve Quote
