As I said on a previous post my exhaust blew up , I contacted a guy i know to see if he had any pipes, he had one which I got from him, its a Freespirit 4465, which is one of these reverse ones, it seemed to be the same size as my original one so I took it from him, the problem is it doesnt look right with the shock on my S1 does anyone know if this pipe is for a tuber and if so does anyone have a picture of one mounted, I suspect that it may be off a different model as it seems to stick out too much.

I like the pipe so I think I will cut and shut the reverse bit and make it into a standard pipe, it is a nice big oval stainless silencer.

The box is almost brand new I've just cut off the reverse pipe and welded the sleeve where it joins so it fits like a standard I also removed the desibel killer from it, so it should sound nice.

Yes I was thinking that I'm going to pick up on the engine mount, I took it out a spin today sounds great seems to go better but that may be down to the high calorific value of the air due to it being cool and denser but it didn't cough and splutter at low revs as much the lack of a front mount would be an accident waiting it will get fitted this week along with the
:worthy: :yup:
new engine mount from Spondon.

Spondon's front engine mount is definitely a good thing and a thing of beauty but I think Maz is referring to the front exhaust mount. Give him a ring then speak nicely to DaveH about organising postage for you :idea:
