Scirocco Register

Front speakers

The cover fits ok on the drivers side but I'm going to need to do some trimming on the passenger side





I started to run out of daylight

That's as far as I got, decided that I'm going to go the whole hog and fit new ISO connectors so they have been ordered (along with heat shrink tubing) just waiting for them to arrive.

Ipod lead needs to be run, not sure where to yet



Also still need to wire the rear speakers and fit the amp/sub

Also ordered these

someones a bit spendy before xmas! is the exhaust unique to the 1.5? or does it fit 1.8 etc? makes a surprising difference having a new exhaust and new filter. more revy.

Yeah, the Mrs won't see the credit card bill for a few weeks yet

I believe it's for all the big block engines. I'm hoping it does make a difference, I haven't had a full exhuast and manifold fitted on anything other than an aircooled. Apparently the 1.5 JB engine is strangled by the exhaust manifold.

So......everything started well, collected all the bits together....

New mounts and gaskets



Boxes full of new exhaust bits

Went to collect her after everything was fitted and that's when it started going downhill.

Manifold looks good (Sorry for the poor pics, taken tonight, in the dark....with the hump)

Rest of it fits like shit

Centre box is hanging right down, only about an inch clearance





None of the supplied mounts seemed to fit anywhere so it was fitted with available mounts



Hits on rear beam



Doesn't line up

Pissed off, looks like shit, can't get on my driveway and scraped down the trousers road

Clerance is an issue...James removed the centre and had a straight through, mine broke after 18 months (I went back to stock) although it must have scraped every speed bump it went over whilst I had it.

There should be a clamp for the rear box that you can use instead of the hanger that's welded onto the rear pipe behind the muffler, you can then rotate the back box a bit and should help with routing the pipe over the beam. I ended up cutting that hanger off to get a better fitting as it just got in the way.

Probably not the sort of things you want to hear...sorry.

Bugger

Got some more pics this morning.

So far out, it's ridiculous!!

Looking from this side the clearance over the beam looks better





Not sure the centre box looks like it's the right shape

not great. you want to get some heat protection on your steering boot before that melts away. I used a soldering mat zip tied on.
