It wasn’t off the shelf exhaust.
I had it custom made by Dux fabrication

Sean, that is looking brilliant & listened to the hum on the YouTube video, sounds good a nice subtle deeper exhaust noise.

Wondering what's next for the van after the colour coordinated rims and Exhaust system, am intrigued?

@11ATL
Thanks you.
It doesn’t have to be loud to sound nice. I didn’t want an asbo 😂
I will change the wheels back after the winter.

As for what’s next probably a 6 speed gearbox.

Oh yes Asbo & a bit of Flat Eric with the windows down.

Right is that because with the remapping of the engine, it just needs a 6th gear to stop it over revving?

Flat Eric 🤣🤣 yeah something like that 🤣🤣

Yeah 6 speed box will give me a little bit more power with a remap and less revving on motorways in 6th

How much would a 6 speed gearbox be do you have any idea?

@harryweeds
Anything from £450 and up. All depends on the condition and what mileage the gearbox has done.
The one I need for my caddy is a MAW code 1.6 6 speed gearbox from a VW touran. Which is more or less plug and play.

Sean, any news on the gearbox for the van?

Amazing you says it's plug & play. I remember changing the gear box in my Dad's Vauxhall Viva in the mid eighties, I held the gearbox up through the hole in the floor with a hose pipe, that definitely wasn't plug & play. Image

I know what you mean.
I used to help out my mates years ago changing engines and gearbox’s in Ford escorts and carpri’s
No wiring looms to screw you up 🤣

@Sean1066

Did you use a rattle can to spray odd bits like the backs of the badges ? If so do you have a link to the correct colour? I’ve got a dog crate I want to do a tester on before I decide on wether to have it done properly or not 😂.

Cheers.

Hi Jono1
For the back of the badges and in the engine bay I did use rattle cans.
Here is the link for the ones I used.
