Unfortunately I’m going to have to cancel, changed the exhaust a couple of weeks back and it’s losing power noticed it the past two drives it’s been difficult on climbs etc so she’s in the shop, was hoping they could sort it but doesn’t look likely.
Probably a return to stock 😕 didn’t think 2.5 to 3 inch would be an issue 🤦🏻‍♂️ one mod too many haha 

anyway hope to see you all on the next one
