Mik, exhaust is fine. Just a very slight knock on the rear of the chassis as you start / stop the engine, nothing when running. Noise wise - well you hear the exhaust as opposed to the engine. I don't find this irritating but others might. I can only suggest that if you do come over, have a drive of mine, if OK have a similar system made and if too noisy - stick a second silencer box in.
I have also had a low profile winch bumper made. Similar to those made by Slee, with a bolt on top centre loop. Hi lift jack points, Scorpion Racing swivel recover hooks etc. Julian has digital photos - sorry I'm still an old fashioned film man ! I'm sure if you ask Julian nicely he will put a link in for you to access the photos.
The bar is well made, sits level, all welds ground smooth and finished in black powder coat - =A3 500 - I supplied the swivel hooks.
I now need an OME kit as the front suspension has settled nearly 35 mm !
