Okay to some peoples demise, but others delight, i took my car to Exhaust Technology to get the exhaust fixed.
And an awesome job they did.
They put in a flexi just after the extractor collector piece, and re-did the middle and rear mounts.
They also changed the tip on the RC40 from the stocko one to a meatier 2.5" exit - from the muffler box.
It definitely sounds different... a lot deeper and little bit louder note to it.
I love it 8)

Pics to follow.

Hope i don't break this one any time soon. :roll: :)

Tool. Why go see Marky? :roll: ANYWAY, what sorta mounts are they at the front of the subframe? They look like a pair of the little cotton-reel ones... Please explain to all. I think i will go to the rubber-block type, as seen on most new ricer stuff.

Well do you like it? :roll: :lol:

Yep they are button mounts.
They are the recommended type for this application, he says.
The flexi takes up the abuse that i will give it, he also says.

Looks much better than that bloody 3/4" tip you used to have.... :roll:
We'll just see how long these newbie mounts last, so i'll see what i'll be doing with mine.

Although, you could just fix the front panel damage :lol: OR get some disc brakes... :P

willy, what is your rear mount (the very rear one)? Is it bolted straight to the subframe? Or is it hanging on a rubber mount?
