Yep, probably need to get it from the manifold back now as one of the flexi's has been replaced with the wrong size (smaller bore) at some point and when trying to replace the lambda the thread stayed in the collar. Stuffed an old one back in to seal it.

Just bought some EBC red stuff pads and a K&N filter as well (bonus was very good this year)

Hope so:)

Spoke to Infinity again today and will have the flexi's done as well because of the two different bore sizes and they will sort the Lambda - looking forward to that!!

Fitting the pads next week as family stuff this weekend and I better get Kelly something :hammer:

Not twin pipes then hehe :thumb1:

Love to do that but the bumper has a cut out for the towing eye right in the wrong place on the opposite side to the current exit , so would need additional body work to do this.

Been told that a single pipe as soon as possible after the flexi will give more torque, so probably stick with that idea and dual tail pipes on the exit side

Cool enough :) Still toying with an idea of a dual exit for the 33 ;)

Eating too much at the mother in laws for Sunday Lunch and watching Smokey and the Bandit!

Off to the garage in a sec to start playing with the Alfa. Exhuast section to refit and the Red Stuff Pads!

So are the originals all the time!!

A few guys mentioned that, I will see how they go, but to be honest the car is not used for short journeys, mainly at weekends and A roads at that, so shouldn't be a problem and if they are better than stock when warm, that will be great
