I do not have a video of it yet, ill try and make one this weekend. It is very loud, i like the sound of it just not on the highway where there is alot of drone coming in the cabin...i will be fitting a "no drone" damper in the future. definitely not legal in my country (Belgium)

The exhaust starts from the turbo. It first starts with the downpipe which is not shown on the diagram, to the downpipe the full exhaust as shown in the diagram is connected. I have made my own exhaust few months ago. You can have a look at my posts that i made about it on this forum. "DYI...

Almost done. Doubting if i should go side pipe or just stop in the middle of the car with a bend facing downwards. Dont want to go to the back of the car. Fitted these two pieces already and the car is VERY LOUD almost a bit too loud... I guess the complete straight 3" might be better with one...
