  1. That pic looks like a Photoshop to me.

    You could try your Dealership (and then fall over laughing at their incompetence).

    Best bet would be getting a custom one made up I reckon.

  2. You are aware that the great property of stainless is, its DOESNT rust ;)

    Wrong.

     

    :lol:

    Wait.....you spend all week moaning that people aren't giving suitable explanations and then you simply post a one word answer without backing it up? (I'm not saying you are incorrect by the way).

    Just finding you a little bit of a hypocrite.

    Not much point when my opinion is disregarded due to my age / experience, but if you insist, here's a load of other people confirming my point.

    I could have confirmed it for you. I work with Stainless Steel, and it does corrode (normally because it's cheap @*!#). It just take a lot more time/weathering for it to happen. Also very much depends on the alloy make up of the steel in question.

     

    So what are your exhaust plans now then?

  3. And by the looks (and sounds of it), most likely blowing :stir: but what do we know :scare:

    Never said it wasn't, just that no trained mechanic has made that diagnosis and no MOT has flagged it. ;)

     

    Please don't start trying to be a smart ass on this thread as well. It would be nice not to have to close down one of your threads this week :teeth:

  4. Well now....you may not have done this to appear like a knob. But guess what you have achieved.....yup - you look like a knob. IMO you purposely left out information in an attempt to be able to claim a "one up" on whoever you could. Bit of a di** move.

    Any such action like this in the future and you will be receiving a warning point for unacceptable behavior.

     

    But anyway - you missed a reason as to why people said it sounded like it was blowing. As a number of members said, the standard of audio gear seriously distorts what an exhaust sounds like. Especially at idle and low revs. Thus to my ears, that sounded like it was blowing.

    As I say, it wasn't my intention, but I understand that it will be taken that way.

     

    That being said, surely you can see why I would be apprehensive in posting a video. The responses I got only goes to prove I was right to be so.

     

    I didn't miss that reason. Please see point 3 (the part in brackets), but also the disclaimer after it. Other videos of exhausts will have been shot in a similar fashion with a similar device, yet nobody accuses them of having a leak...

     

     

    (Horsesh*t)

     

    Please see the part in brackets.

     

    Do you even realise how condescending you come across on here?

  6. Check that it starts when already warm. That's an early indication of failing apex seals.

    An 07 will already have had the oil pipe and suspension corrosion issues sorted.

     

    They are epic cars to blat around in. So well balanced. Made even better with a properly set up set of coilovers and some good rubber.
