I used one of those on my 40 pretty sure I paid less than that from Chase In lower Hutt next to pitstop. But really mufflers are overrated,unless he actually fails it for the warrant :mrgreen:

I somewhat agree there. I do enjoy the noise it produces. :) My wee one thinks it is a bit noisy for her but I put some ear muffs on her and she is fine. See what the WoF guys says.. maybe I will have to pop down to a friendly Truck Stop for a WoF where people enjoy how a V8 sings lol

Bit of an update..

WoF all sorted and drives wonderfully. New project started, not getting weekends off for 4x4, new business etc means the 40 will be going on sale.

I had sorted out the little rust that was there and put metal where metal should be. Now preping the body for a new fresh coat of paint.

If anyone wants to buy the 40 and decide on paint colour make a good offer now otherwise I like the blue and will be doing it the same colour :)
