DIY 3" dump pipe and exhaust install

the pics have instructions on them so self explanatory..
for me it went really well and took about 3hrs on the ground with a piece of cardboard as my headrest for the ground
The really fiddly bit was the dump pipe and the 4 bolts as little room for movement unless u have a flexi head ratchet..
list of tools used are as follows;
Flexi head ratchet
10/14/17mm sockets
10/14/17mm ratchet ring spanners
mech gloves to saves those knuckles
cpl of beers and a good wife
and most of all patients as it will be easier that way
