Baffles came loose on a AF clubman once,was told you can cut it open and weld them back in place. Was told if you move them slightly(can`t remember which way) you can improve the performance.

One of the other threads on this site talks about Siobhan Ellis and her awesome ride across Australia (
www.lammiedrive.org.au). Ron, the Australian Casa dealer rode with her, and his Ancillotti exhaust basically disintegrated during the trip, seems their build quality isn't that great. So at 2000 miles, it might be at the end of it's life.

Bloody hell you go for one ride out and the exhaust is buggered, they don't build them like they used to

you can drill and plug weld the baffle or bodge it and stick a couple of self tappers in it. there is a exhaust on scoor restorations site that shows it in bits. so you can see that its a a plate with a flange spot welded in various places. the welds just are not always good.

They are expensive but worth every penny,Ralph Saxelby`s bigbore pipes.Had one and done many thousands of miles without anything rattling loose inside and it still looked like new.
Performance was fantastic.

I shouldn't worry about the noise. If it's anything like mine it will fall apart long before it proves to be a problem.
