hmm a bit of advice:

1, Make sure that ur pipe is secured correctly, cause mine went so damn hot at the manifold that it melted through the join and fell onto the floor dragging along behind me.

2. It can be just as good to remove 1 silencer (if u have 2_ and take sum baffles out of the other 1, it can sound just as good!

yeah i was thinking about removing the back silencer....or getting a different one. bcoz the on ei have is a strange angle and wont fit the new bumper im getting.

Ok, this is gonna sound really stupid (im only an amateur) if i was to remove the back silencer and just replace it with piping would that be ok? the reason im asking is coz ive seen straight through silencers which are surely the same thing arent they?

my exhaust is straight through, except for the small silencer at the front of the centre section and the back box and it is pretty loud, but it's all comming off soon to make way for a full system scorpion !!!! :D :D :D
