This is confusing me, folks.... Any similar experiences or insights into why it has happened?I don't think a weld or joint has gone, but will be double checking at the weekend... ________________________________________ SmartyMy lil toy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martincurtisphotography/sets/72157640014140786/ |

If its anything like mine when its hot (I.e lots of traffic or youve just wound it up through 3 gears all guns blazing), It booms.Is it at all to do with when you are giving it an italian tune up? ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

Mild steel will be a bit better, but obviously means a new exhaust. |

Hmm not sure...Anyhoo, what's an Italian tune up? Not going back to mild... Can't afford another system and sure I wouldn't get £300 for this one... ________________________________________ SmartyMy lil toy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martincurtisphotography/sets/72157640014140786/ |
