Update:
Ok, everything back on the car and taken for a 20 mile road test. Sound wise, it's pretty much perfect. Sounds smooth with no stupid popping & banging on the overrun. Inside the car the sound level is barely any different from stock with no booming or droning, so all good?? Err, no, there is one issue and that is the two tail pipes don't sit the same, which I know is going to drive me insane! I'm going to have to strip it back down again and see if I can manipulate the position of the silencer body to bring the tail pipes more even.  :-\
Small man syndrome? Not me, I'm 5' 5" AND A HALF!

Call the midlife!

Good luck with that, it's one of the issues with the Malian fitment, the solid flange joint will govern the fit of the back box more than anything else.
You're probably better off trying to bend the tail pipe mounting rods.
60% of the time it works everytime...

Yes, it was a bit of a git, but I've got it quite reasonable now.

I fitted one a while back and found it bang on for the price point.  Only had a knackered old stock system to compare it to though.

Funny you should mention the pipes position - had a few goes at getting mine to sit symmetrically, still not 100% but it's stopped bothering me.

Health to enjoy.

I agree, for the money I think it's pretty impressive really.

Boo! I loved the noise I got from a leaky gasket.
