Thank you.
A mate did the muffler and ORS provided the draw kit. Rest was by me. Learnt quite a lot in the last 12 weeks. Plenty of trial and error, especially on the electricals.

and yes, I rate the work as excellent

was the lift spring replacement pretty straightforward? I've done them on my D90 and Perentie. I don't have the luxury of a lift though and will be using floor and bottle jacks.

It was a bit tedious. Had to compress them which I would have preferred to avoid.

Yes it was custom fabricated from a few 3” bends and a v-band clamp.
There is absolutely zero difference in the sound. Honestly nothing at all. Not even a bit.

Awesome work mate! I'm very interested in how the LR tank fits.
Can I ask who is making it?

I wish we could get away with taking the rear exhaust box off in the U.K. A perfect place for the auxiliary fuel tank especially with mine as a petrol with no adblue tank. I fear it wouldn’t pass an emissions test or an MOT

I've not had a good look at the exhaust, but (especially on the petrol) wouldn't the rear box just be a noise suppression unit? So no difference in emissions, just sound. Shouldn't affect mot, as long as the pipes still terminate out the back and not at the axle

I hope that’s the case. I’m no expert but if it could be removed and still be legal then that’s a winner for me. It would leave a big void for a fuel tank

What an amazing setup.
May I asked how/where you place the compressor?
