I have heard the Abbott system and it sounded good. I already have a stainless downpipe, but might well go for the Batteriboj 3" from JT along with the rest of the exhaust. Elkparts sell both. I've got the last foot and a bit of the Carlsson pipes (the rest was rusted and had to be replaced for the MOT). I'll have to look at the system fitted to decide if I want to replace with the Calrsson end. I'm going to have to do something quickly though - I've a standard, but very shiny, oval now and it just doesn't look right :( I've been sent a couple of pictures of the Jetex system fitted and it looks good. Can anyone comment about sound? I know it will growl nicely around town, but I'm concerned it would be too loud on motorway journeys. A constant exhaust hum can be pretty wearing. Thanks Matt, Can anyone else comment on their systems? Paul
