Van update;

Added a flexi section and small silencer before the side pipe,
and it now sounds more like a std van,
which is a bit gay (no offence to gays),
but will get me less attention when driving, which is good.

I'll post a pic or two when I take some.
I wanted to take some while I was making it all up cos I made a nice job of it
... for an amateur (if I do say so myself )
but camera battery was empty (Sorry Alan )

[AlanN]

Tax it online, it has immediate effect and arrives in a couple of days, even if it doesn't you can still drive it
Well done, Max effort award yourself a gold star or a cold bottle cap which ever is prefered
