I just realised you did the decat, probably to do with that :grin:

The standard run consisted of the Intake, Pre-Cat removal and running on Shell V-Power - It had recently been serviced also.
Yeah I'm based in Shepton Mallet, not too far away from yourself :happy2:

I wouldnt say it was massive, there is a little difference though - It does aid less rocking motions/cleaner shifts, although I'd recommend looking at the bush within the dogbone arm also as that appears a little weak! :happy2:
Interestingly enough, I took the ECS one out to fit the Revo counterpart and it seems the ECS one is a little firmer! Doh!
AJP:
Couple of the Powervalve. Went for the R32 rear as I'd already colour coded the skirts and fitted an ed30 front.
I've since adjusted the exhaust slightly so it sits a few mill higher and fills the valance cutouts better.
These are the 'R' style tailpipes, which are more angled (30 degree) and a bit bigger than the other traditional R32 tip option (15 degree I think).
I love it. Yes, it was a fair chunk of money, but it's worth every penny for me. Best mod I've done.

Thats a lovely looking car! I do have a colour coded rear bumper in my to-do list also :innocent:
The exhaust does look good and works as a nice package.

Thanks mate. It's not far off how I want it cosmetically, just a few bits like ed30/R32 rear lights, xenons etc. Doesn't take much work to get a mk5 looking nice!
Colour coding makes a huge difference, makes it all look a bit classier I reckon.

Yeah I do like the Look of R32 rear lights, are you thinking genuine Xenons or copies?
