Default Lowering your car is dangerous!

So I brought the car out of the carage today and ran it up and down the road. God - it feels to good

Anyway, reason was to give it a check and since I was bored, remove the exhaust.

Reason being isbecause I knew that the exhaust had been punctured from me continuously getting beached on pebbles, grids etc etc.

Here is what I found:








So I think that is it for the mid box and getting it replaced with a normal pipe!

Ouch ..

On my old exhaust I found the bottom point was about 75% the diameter it should have been.

Now I just hear carbon fibre crunch ..

At least you know when you get your Tein, you can put up the ride height so this wont happen again.

I am putting mine up as I loved my Mugen too much. Currently I cant go over a speed bump more than 2mph.

I just cant stomach the noise a single pipe makes.

When i had my j racing T1r it was soooo loud it would have caused ear damage.

If i could get a quiet single pipe but the performance to boot that would be great I'd have one, sadly the two dont go together

Bung will reduce some of the performance, might give a minute bit of lower down torque though.
