Steve - Just a note to say that my having Quads doesn't make an audibly recognisable difference to the sound.

I forgot to tell you, Steve, that Ed is going to check with Milltek about size of downpipe - 3" or 2.75" - Because he thinks that might be what makes the sound difference.

Poor MR Geek dont bother resisting, you now have 3 to 4 weeks before approval in this time the said Nath and Robin will lambaste you into submission  :laugh: resistance is futile.
Just go for the non res and be done.
I dont see the problem with the extra boom just turn your DVD's up a little louder.  :evilgrin:

I have seen one or two of these snap the rear engine mount, Awesomegti sell a uprated rear mount I dont know if that will help stop it

from what I understand, the rear exhaust mount just behind the engine, its like a twin pronged fork thing, can snap if the dogbone insert isn't added to stop a little engine movement, not the engine mounts :smiley:

It's as gaz says.

Didn't I post a pic earlier in this thread?

If an engine mount broke you would definitely know about it!!
