Yeah, that would be me - it wasn't the seam, it was just the stainless outer skin (the inner is mild). They were just tacks to keep the skin in place as I knew it was to be replaced eventually. Don't see why TIG would be needed. MIG with stainless wire should be sufficient?

Anyway, you got it for free, what are you moaning about :p

That was me as well as K. For your info you can mig stainless you can also mig ally if you have the right kit.

When you're ancient as me - you could gas weld it as well. All this modern "make it easy" kit/pan

true, but i go for the easiest option, drag ally or stainless gun out, switch gas bottles VS flick switch on the Tig welder /pan /pan

as this exhaust has become a club tradition, i should really stamp the previous owners names on it kind of like a trophy /lol

I liked the sound of that back box.....

Not quite as LOUD as the exhaust we have now ;)

i cant hear it, to me it has made no audible difference, and now im being told it sounds like a quieter version of my mates FTO :( which will have to be sorted out.

im not to bothered about the sound inside the car its outside the car which everyone hears, i dont want it to sound nasty....also why i need a louder BOV /lol

My thoughts exactly.... it's quiet... thats why I liked it.

The one we have now is 100+ DB..... Very loud.

i dont care how the car sounds on the inside, i havent got a CD player in the car, and i have no real urge to put one in, the 6a13TT makes an orsum noise.

Well, if you decide on a louder backbox, I'm willing to bet there will be a bidding war for yours :D
