so was all of it cut and joined with silcone joiners. or welded

Silicone Joiners, you can kinda see here. that's why the pipe doesn't go straight across, it sort of goes down a bit towards the center of the car, cos the angle used wasn't a perfect right angle:

Think he means the top pipe.
Yeah this pipe was purchased from Lazza when Jake bought the kit. This was not in the universal kit. It's a custom made top pipe.
I got mine made from a friend at the exhaust shop. All tigged and smoothed then I powdercoated it.
I powdercoated this one when lazza had it on his car, now it's Jakes <--- (87rb30vl)

Got my 3" exhaust extended and fitted with the 3" dump, I'm happy with the results & is a lot more smoother now compared to before! But now it's obvious to people that it has some grunt under the hood haha.
