Yes, but the tax hasn't changed over the last 12 months or longer, it's been the $per barrell pricing! MY15

Interestingly, down our way over the last week or so, petrol and diesel are the same price at the pump.

Haven't seen that for years.

Not sure what has caused it, or how long it will last.......

Same thing up here. Needless to say it's petrol which has increased in price, not diesel which has dropped!

STOCK PIPE TRIMMED

BEFORE!!!





AFTER!!












Looks great, really happy!
As long as your prepared to trim the stock pipe this looks very classy. I think this looks better than if you had these fitted with the bumper extension as you can see the Stainless Steel Finisher as where it is hidden under the skirt otherwise. MY15

I must say I was a bit horrified by the price but once I received it I can see why!
It's a really nice "piece" and huge!
It's worth every cent!
Don't waste your time on a cheap copy or alternative, this is a nice product and has transformed the rear/side view of the exhaust immensely!! MY15

This is what you'll need to do to make this look great!

You will need to trim about this much off the stock tailpipe! I used a hacksaw which wasn't too hard going and masked off around the tailpipe to have a line to follow.




Next, you will need to remove a small amount of the outer Stainless Steel housing at the rear to allow the housing to miss the stock pipe as it returns into the back box. As the Finisher now slides further up and back the tailpipe you need to do this. Again I used a Hacksaw and masking tape as a guideline to follow.




That was pretty much it!

Next two pics are without trimming!!






And Trimming!!



Job Done! Don't know why I didn't do this earlier!! Laughing

Thumbs Up
It's transformed the rear of the car Paul, looks really classy.
Just make sure you trim the pipe. Very Happy
Only thing I may do is attach a secondary strap from the "Finisher" to the stock pipe for piece of mind in the case it may come loose, unlikely but not taking any chances at that price! MY15
