    Yes, Got it off ebay. Company's called viper stripes direct. A real pig to fit at first but when you get the hang of it it's not too bad.

    Exhaust was 2nd hand from jamie hunter racing. It was £600 if i remember correctly. It's had the cat removed from the centre section to get more bhp. New from r-sport the full exhaust is around £1500!
