I would love to take it off as it makes it sound like sh*t from when its sittin at the lights etc....cheers chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed a bit more heat around the footwell area in mine but nothing to be worried about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like you could refit your factory ones to an aftermarket system if you wanted.Just fix it, probably equal amount of work, and looks less dodgy if you want to sell down the track.

Mine kept getting fixed then rattling again, drove me up the wall......ha ha.BUT if you have a huge aftermarket exhaust could be a different story with heat etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
