Howd you fix the pipe behind the mesh? Where d you get a bit of pipe thats felxable enough, I keep spliting peices coz of the tight s-bend shape you gotta make.

Err it was wedged, cos it was a very strong piece of piping (very strong foil/metal type item that extended to 18")that i bought from a car spares shop for 5.99. I chopped up the old piping and wedged it on the end.http://members.lycos.co.uk/jonsclio16v/pipeundercar2small.jpg

looks good, mies from the fog hle, did u notice a difference cause i thought my car was bettler low down the revs than usual, which is good in a valver!

No not really, did take it for a good caning and it was picking up well through the first 3 gears. Still it probably made some small difference
