How does she drive with the new engine?
Looking forward to more updates!
outside of the right front chassis leg.
Thanks David
If you want 100% OEM i'd opt for the Double S one!

I much prefer that look to the 4 pipe aftermarket ones.
You work quick Richard..
Fitment finalised..
It sits really well now..
Sounds the part too!
It has all the mufflers still Richard.
Only difference being you'll know it is a V8!!
I'll be sure to make one Morat!!
I too prefer the cleaner look of the single exit exhausts, the quads look odd in my opinion.
Janspeed exhaust fitted.
It does sound lovely now!
Sound and looks good!!
Beautiful Job David,.
It'll look grand in your VSE!
Fu*cking genius!!
What a Job!!!
You guys work fast!!
Can't wait for the update!
I spent yesterday removing an exhaust which in theory is quite an easy task on the P38...
However some braindead mechanic had welded the rear muffler coupler to the intermediate pipes that go to the 2 rear mufflers!
Ahhhh!!!
So out with the angle grinder and it was cut off in several places which allowed the entire system to call off in small chunks, as i couldn't be arsed to remove the bolts or the mounts!
The rear pipes were being an arse to get out, so with one foot on the muffler and my hand on the other, a good yank so the rear pipes split in half..
what a fiasco..
A Janspeed system will replace the original, for some more burble!!
I've had to drive mine in an emergency "hospital related" around some roads at speeds you wouldn't want in a 205gti however the P38 in motorway mode didn't pitch or roll nearly as much as you'd expect,
That included coming around a tight bend and having to stand on the brakes, the front dipped but not a complete decompression, and control remained with me..
When needed you can hustle these big 4x4s/
In my case the key was Multiple thin coats to get a smooth finish..
The sealant adds a glossy film which makes it extremely smooth..
Looks Great David..
A caveat i missed on my post was the sealant needed a hair drier or the like to allow it to flash off..

My 5w50 oil has arrived :) Hopefully I'll get a change done this weekend.
For some reason it was only £27.49 for 5L on Amazon for the Comma stuff so I got two. I like Comma oils and this is one with plenty of Zinc for flat tappets.
Whats the Viscosity index?
Got the mota ripped out yet?
Nabbed a nice Janspeed Exhaust for the old girl!
