As for the JT, yes Phil and Phil fitted it, apparently it was a git to fit, but its a top job and it doesn't catch on the road cushions like the standard one did as there's no front box. I LOVE the sound it makes, at all revs. Tickover is a really lovely burble, and about 2000rpm give the best reverberation, but 4500 through a tunnel, (well a long bridge) near me is just stunning sort of like... RRRRRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRWWWWWWWWWW! Lets just say with the JT and the Bailey 26D dump valve it's a real symphony! Performance wise, like many on nospam I've noticed a definite improvement, not so much in speed or power but the turbo spools up a bit quicker. Thinking about the downpipe but can't warrant the extra dosh, especially as it would involve a battery move to the boot, or a Varley red top.......KERchinggggggg Go for it Paul, you will not regret it one bit.
