if you can get it up on a ramp get a bar and wobble the whole exhaust, see if any of the heat shieldings are touching, as mine was really knocking the other week and i thought the mid section was f*cked but it was a bit of sheilding the protects the rear brake hoses iirc.as for miles il check the history to see if it was ever replaced but i took it off at 128k i think but il have to check. nothing wrong with it, when i find it actually if i find it haha il post a couple of pics up for you and i took it off to replace it for a decat  EDIT: where in herts are you? ________________________________________ ex S16 (K.I.A ) GTI 6 TEAM more scratches than an emo kid TEAM BLACK but wishing it was bianca white |
