Thanks brooneye
There’s not much difference in the sound as I didn’t want a all sound and no poke exhaust. So I kept it more or less the same

Some people have asked me what does it sound like?
At first I didn’t think it did until I did a little video (btw I’m not very good at Image)
But if you want to hear it here is a link

Wow, what a thread!

I've been sifting through the whole thing and man, is there anything you can't do?!

Thanks for sharing, you've given me yet more ideas.

@McCaddyGascar
Thanks for taking the time to read through my build thread🙏
The one thing I would really love to do is an engine swap. 😁
But sadly when it comes to the wiring I would be at a loss so yes there lots of things I can’t do 😭

That sounds nice mate, definitely sounds a bit beefier but it’s subtle.

@peter
It does sound a bit different.
As you say a bit more beefy.

Wow I must say that welding on the exhaust is amazing. It does look like a piece of art.

The exhaust tone is very nice. Very subtle but alot beefier. Spot on.

@pepsi
Thank you
The guy at dux fabrication did a lovely job I must admit.
I think the sound is just about right for a 1.6 diesel

No thanks needed. It's beautiful. Cars will never be my think buy for some reason I'm addicted to looking at stuff to get for the van. Everyone's build threads are great on here!

Great work Sean, you’ve put a lot of work in and it really shows.
