haha more news!
I still have the part that he sawed off the mid section pipe because it was still attached to the back box, I spoke to him and he said I could have the mid section for no extra charge. Now on our industrial estate there's a welding business, makes gates and everything and they said that they could weld the part that he sawed off for free next time I'm down, So I'll be buying them some beers haha!
This is all very exciting for an exhaust eh? :')
