Hanging backbox? Dom, you make me sick. :grin: I think I'm suffering from a similar knocking noise though. Since I lowered the car more at lower revs it's rattling a bit, so will have to sort that out soon too.

Exhaust sounds sweet Dom looks nice too :wink: Mines a powerflow single exit sounds pretty sweet but thinking of going back to my standard back box think it would look better.

right got a very short Vid, revved to around 2.5k only, sounds not so loud but you can hear the induction kit doing its thang :evil: and also my front heat shield rattle when i rev haha

Yeah sounds very similar to mine but a bit more gutsy (also with the heatshield rattle!), it sounds good though! Think i'll almost certainly remove the middle box sometime  :smiley:

I took mine for a quick drive earlier and the knocking/rattling almost stopped when the engine was hot, I guess it's got something to do with the pipes expanding  :undecided:

You joke but things like that get on my nerves big time, I won't sleep properly until it's sorted :grin:

How come your considering going back to standard? Too loud?

No Dom, trust me, I know exactly what you mean. That annoys the hell out of me, mine was the same for the 16v for a few weeks.

Yeah I know what you mean, I would only get a twin piped exhaust for a Mk3. I'm sure someone will want to swop, get it up in the classifieds  :smiley:

Ive still got my standard back box which isnt to old as the chap replaced it just before I bought the car.All I need is a standard center box as the cats still on so might be better to get the centre box and sell or p/x for the powerflow.Your twin exit looks far better and neater than the single exit like mine.

If I were you i'd sell the powerflow, get a custom pipe made up to remove the middle box and put your standard backbox on, that way you've got the standard twin pipes with a bit more noise  :smiley:
