I do have a rattle in my end pipe so thats a great link Nic, cheers.

Also you may have to cut your running board (if you have one) for the tail pipe to clear it.

I like to make an entrance.. and with that pipe you let everyone know you've arrived!

All I can say is nice exhausts

Pardon you what come again

And they are a bit low (easy to ground) on the right hand side.

I've had one on my lammy for 2 years nearly...it's great in so far as cars actually stop at junctions. But I start work at 4 a.m so firing it up at 3.45 am is a bit of a no no...

I had to stop, turn back without a pipe, collect it out of the gutter, put it in my pocket and ride off - all without any silencer. W Heath Robinson had nothing on the looks I got...
