What's yours?

Mine sits at the 500 on idle yet the speedo says it should sit at 1000 min

Normally should be higher but it's not adjustable with vcds.

Oh, it dropped after fitting the new exhaust, thought that was usual... harmful?

What exhaust? Sounds like it's stifling the flow.

^^^that would be the power flex mount if that's fitted to prevent any cracking downpipes and flex joints failing
