So finally got sometime to install the Greddy Ti Exhaust.

As previously stated I had to do a slight modification to the mid pipes to include HFCs (to pass yearly MOT inspection), so I didn’t use the Greddy Ti mid-pipes, instead I had a new set made out of SS with cats and resonator.

I’ve only driven around for like 1 and half weeks and had to travel, loving it the more I drive it and reminds me of how the car used to sound with the Joe-Z Exhaust.

I was surprised to see I had a significant exhaust leak when I took of the OEM exhaust. Driver side bottom was pretty bad, and passenger side Top seems to have started to leak (below pics).

I hope this custom installation should in general give a much better compatibility between the PPE Header flanges and exhaust flanges.

how did you keep the stock quad tips with the aftermarket exhaust? I love the powder coated quad tips and am considering doing the same on my ISF.

Definitely not found on 08' - 10' OEM specs.

Alcantara showed around 2011 and Red Leather 2012..

Available in prior years also was Alpine White and Terra cotta orange (very rare & unpopular).
White was also an option at the launch since 08'

thanks for the info. Would def love to find someone parting out an ISF with red interior to swap mine out.

I think this ISF has travelled the world more than most, 4~5 years in KSA, then 3~4 years in UK and now finally arrived in Dubai for some much-needed tender loving care.

I decided to ship it out of the UK as London was becoming ridiculous with the 20mph speed limits in the city.
