Yes they've received the Lenny Henry treatment :mrgreen:

Opinion time;

I'm just trying to get the exhausts sorted and have adjusted the angle of the stinger section. Nothing fouls and there is good clearance all round, just wondered what everyone else thought.

Does it look about right to everyone?

Hi Daz, that is indeed one of Jan's cylinder heads. Next time you're in the area, you'll have to stop by and take a closer look.

I have commissioned Ellis Moore to build 3 close ratio sets for myself and two other forum members. Becuase of all the hassle I've had with them, I did not want to have any more making, or involve anyone else and these guys have already paid up front and have been equally as messed around.

new pipe is much better, but for a final verdict I'de like to see it with the rear plastics on. I like it when the can follows the same line as the plastics.

So do I normally, but it doesn't work out on the TZ seat unit. All the bodywork is at the paint shop at the moment, so best I can do is show you a TZ.

The seat unit doesn't have a very steep angle, so matching the exhaust to it would look a bit odd.

Note the angle of the sub frame in relation to the pipes.
