Rob, fitting is was a b**ch, bt mainly due to having to take the rear bumper off to get the standard exhaust out in one piece! I had a mate helping who is pretty good wi stuff like this, but really, fitting the new one is only a case of unbolting and bolting some bolts lol!! As for the height adjustment, erm, the only adjustment i have is on the hanger that goes around the back box.
I had to fiddle with it a bit, as it rattled like hell at first, my centre pipe clamp (which didnt arrive with the rest of the exhaust, and arrived on my doorstep half way through fitting the nex exhaust-i didnt even know it was missing from the initial delivery, which is a bit bad as i would have to take the BBox off to slide it down the centre pipe......Have i got any more bits missing from my order i wonder? lol), anyways, the centre clamp seems to be the wrong size, the rubber is stretched and squint to make it fit, the centre pipe is too close to the rubber for the clamp to fit it right....... (ill get pics of under the car). Erm, what else, yeah just messed about with the back box hanger to make it sit ok.........so all in all, the exhaust is fitted.
Rob, my first thought were really of what the hell have i done! it was so loud!!! i guess im gettin used to it now. it sounds nice, very growly, but its ALWAYS there! u can hear everything the engine is doing, all the time, except when u are sat at traffic lights. The best bit.........rolling slowly in 2nd gear with your foot off the accelerator......hehe it pops and spits!!!! its cool as FCUK!
When ya are in the mood, its MINT! lovely burble and makes the sh*tey 1.2 16v sound so much better! Down side, it is impossible to drive it quietly at any time at all! Im scared of getting pulled by the police at night!
Top marks to David at K-tec, he has noticed i am a bit zigged by the noise of the thing and he has been in touch to offer some advice! What he said to me was truly amazing aftersales service!!! And i thank him for that! So i shall see what becomes!
well, thats about it for now. picking my gf up later, so she wont be impressed with the car, she says it makes it sound broken lol! Wimen! oh, Rob, my dad has got home with his camera.....ill nip out and take a pic for you.....5mins mate!
Rob
it was a b**ch gettin the old exhaust out in one piece for a start! I will have to fiddle with some of the clamps as the exhaust is rattling under the car.............but the main thing..........
