I managed to fit Two Brothers, Decat, PC3, K&N filter and have a custom map for £ 640 mate, totally worth it for sure, good mods are never cheap though i know.

where did you get that lot from?sounds like a good deal.
been looking on ebay for a while for carbon akra's.haven't found any yet.
cheapest new i've found was from calsport but just can't afford 967 quid at moment.
is there anywhere else cheaper for akra's?

I was patient mate, got it all from ebay
Cans £340 used
PC3 £ 100 new
Decat £105
Filter £25
Map £70

Your best bet is to save through the summer and buy in the winter, parts tend to be a bit cheaper then

Don't be too concerned re baffles, its not an MOT failure, You may want to speak to Damo666 re pipes he could be your man as far as Akro's go

Bub how Fing much, not in my life time :naughty: :naughty:
