yes, protects your exhaust.... and if it falls off, you won't want it digging in making you crash spectacularly on the motorway when doing a hundred....

how would a exhaust come off

i mean mine only has 2 joins, and even with the clamps removed it took me and ben some real brute force to split

i have a Jetex mounted to a custom Downpipe straight to my turbo No cats

iv removed rear bar front one near where Cat used to be still survives on the car...  but takes a beating

Rust round the boxes.

Obviously standard exhausts fair worse.

I think I will just make a custom thing up on mine to make it a bit flatter.

Where all my moneys went.
