Default update

the downpipe from David manners was not a very good fit. It sits a bit too low so I've scraped a couple of times over speedbumps. Took it to a garage for some minor adjustments and they confirmed it was a poor fit and it a exhaust clamp had been smashed and the whole system had shifted and dropped some additional centimetres. All is now nice and tight, no leaks, the system is lifted a bit higher and the rear pipes are finally a bit more aligned and better adjusted.

The sound from the quicksilver exhaust is great and I'm now tempted to go for an open k&n filter as I've had that on previous cars.

here is a picture from today.

Looks nice and glad to hear you were able to make it all fit, but for $1600USD they should make make it fit perfectly as delivered.

I like it!
i’ve been meaning to do the same thing for a few months. But I’m too scared my camera will fall off! Did you use the suction cup thing, and turn the camera on/off from inside the car with your cellphone via the GoPro app?

thanks😁 The suction cup from gopro is supposed to be good for 240km pr hour so it seems sturdy. I just started the cam from outside and edited away the beginning. didnt think about using the app!
