Yeah, he didn't mask off the mufflers at all. You're not kidding about the exhaust. Can you say RB header ->free flow cat->catback? Oh baby!

Thanks guys. Its not quite perfect, but its pretty close. The gun clogged in a couple places, but they're hardly noticable. Wallydog, I live down in Exeter, about 45 minutes north of London.
