04 147 GTA

New CSC on my 147 gta

Well, fitted my new csc rear section today and am very pleased with it. Removing the old one was quite striaghtforward and it came away no probs from the centre section. Fitting the new one was a little tricky but not a major hassle. Had the old one off and new one fitted in about an hour. Was pleasing to do it myself.
Apparently this is a new exhaust on offer from csc for the 147 gta. note the actual box section to the right which fits up and under the rear bumper. Pipe then bends around and strangely, the chrome pipes are attached on and not actually part of the exhaust. Done to provide the option to fit new or different chrome pipes perhaps? Not sure.
Anyway, see the pics and see what you think. Its very different in looks to the exhaust I was expecting but very happy none the less.
As for sound, well I can assure you its not boomy or boy racer at all. It sounds very like the standard one at idle in fact and only when you get the revs up high does it sound really quality.
I must say the design of the old one does leaves a lot to be desired. Not a huge difference in weight between the two but still the csc is noticeably lighter.
Im might paint the rear of the box (which faces out) as its very shiney and a bit distracting (see first pic). Very clean fit in that theres nothing hanging down lower the bumper.
