Definite could not have finished myself while on jacket stands as I was already nervous being under the car!


End result with the borla x pipe sound... a little increase in sound.. what I do it again.... no. But, another project down!
Now remove your fuse 42 and you could get the sound you want. Otherwise the flaps in the tailpipe are not open all the time at lower speeds.
Also I don't think you really WOTd it. If you did that there is a huge difference in the sound you will have now as opposed to before.

Yeah. You have a young one! No WOT for you yet. And since you don't have the fuse removed yet be sure to set the "sound management" for Track until you do. Or at least give it a try.
