Only issue I found with fitting is where the join is over the rear beam, it's very close to get the clamp on...... I could just about hear a little blowin but as I'm working on the car with just the front wheels on ramps it's very tight under there!!!!

So you have waited all this time and it's blowing - half a job  :grin:

he he,

If I were you I would use some kind of sealant in there, you can get one forget the name of it but it looks like Clear Silicone when you put it on and then clamp it  :wink:

You'll find the clamp sits very close to the rear beam, mine nearly sits on it and touches with a bit of weight in the back...

I'll be checking a nice thick bit of rubber in between to stop the rattling though lol

I used wire around the first back box mount to lift the system up slightly. Cured the knocking nicely :)

Good ideas there... We'll see when it's out and about if any modding is needed then when I come to put gunk on the joints I'll sort it then!!!

Put a stand under the rear beam so half the car is up on that side..... I made my exhaust like that!  :lipsrsealed: :grin:
