This Astra VXR has already had a little work done under the bonnet but before it heads off for a re-map the exhaust needs attention. The customers request was simple, fast and loud. A 200 cell sports cat replaced the original and three inch stainless steel pipework weaved it’s way to a tiny back box. The VXR tip was replicated but made a little bit bigger to set off the look. With the added poke from the free flowing exhaust the customer quite wisely decided on a brake upgrade. the car has massive brakes as standard so we settled on simply uprating the pad. EBC Yellow pads were fitted to keep things useable on the road and sharp even when hot.
