Welcome - I see you have already started down the slippery slope of work!!! How much was your custom exhaust if you don’t mind me asking and how does it sound? I want to get an exhaust but can’t justify one of the expensive branded ones.

Hi, thanks. The exhaust was £320 including fitting. I'll try get a sound clip later to show you the sound of it. It's basically louder and burbles more, sometimes it pops letting off at high rpm.
Exhaust spec:
* Standard downpipe
* Standard cat
* Stainless steel cat back
* Resonator delete
* "Medium" sized backbox
* Slash cut tips
