get longer ones but get polyurethane ones as they are much sturdier and stiffer, that should stop it swaying and jumping as much

all fitted now! it sounds amazing :)

I didn't have any trouble with boost creep/spike etc on the way home. floored it in all gers and the boost held perfectly

It's worth pointing out that running an Autobahn FMIC will leave you with massive clearence problems due to the lamda sensor

my car is off the road again now, becasue of the clearence problems.

the intercooler turbo pipe is pushing very hard against the lamda sensor. We managed to bend the pipe a little in order to fit it back on the car, but as a result of this the radiator fan, gearbox, battery earth and radiator brackets are all cutting into the intercooler pipes at 4 different points!

the only problem with the exhaust is that it hits the chassis when going over bumpy bits of road (at the back, where the pipework crosses over the rear axle) so i need to find way to stop it


i had the same problems with the intercooler pipe on the sensor. and the rear axel. guna get some poly bushes for it though should stiffen it up. love the exhaust tho, sounds great!

also did u have any problems with the back bumper? mine seems to touch the bumper mite have to cut a bit of the bumper away?

it's nothing to do with the exhaust, using sacha's intercooler would prevent any problems. the autobahn intercoolers take a really shite route over the exhaust manifold

i didnt mean sound as in noise mate. just the fact that they dont seem to fit all that well. no one seemed to have any problems with the previous style exhausts.

you need some longer exhaust hangers, mine is nowhere near the bumper or the axle now. go to kwick fit and they will give you some for free

cant help but think the silencer looks real cheap and nasty, like ebay universal jobees. still good for the £ though.
 
I think its possibly the round backbox that causes that look.. maybe if it was oval, it may look a little better. The pictures have put me off the wepr exaust a little now.
