Tried doing this to but it kept falling off the TB, also noticed that you can take the metal O ring (to the left of my alloy pipe) off the engine, but it needs a multi tooth socket which I haven't got :/

[phillpotts92]

Yea I tried doing that too. Hmmm might have a go as didn't look at taking that off before. Just the port obviously lol

 

[phillpotts92]

Well I done it and taken the o ring off and it still doesn't work. Taken a drive and it was knocking on the bonnet:

So for the moment it's this:

 

[ALEXZ360]

What Did You Use To Take The Ring Off??

 

[phillpotts92]

Think it's called a triple square tool. Not sure tho lol. Just knew I had one for it lol.It didn't work with silicon hoses so I doubt highly it will work with alu ones

 

[ALEXZ360]

I Have Done Mine Like This For Now And It Isnt Knocking, Mine Is Slightly Shorter

 

[phillpotts92]

Your cone is slightly smaller than mine too I think.

Called a spline mate

 

[phillpotts92]

Nope not a spline I don't think. Was a hexagonal shape lol. It's literally a Allen key but with more points

Sam how far Dow. Is yours at the front I want to get mine as far down as I can with out rubbing

 

[phillpotts92]

Urn I dunno about mm but about 45% of the way I think but I scrub like a bitch

 

[phillpotts92]

Alex have you noticed the throttle response is smoother now it's not just sat on top of the TB?

 

[ALEXZ360]

Yeh defienetly, it isn't as loud and plus the sound kicks in early


Alexz360

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea it does kick in early. Mines still just as loud lol.

 

[ALEXZ360]

Don't Get Me Wrong Its Still Loud, Just Not As Loud As It Used To Be
I Wanted A New Exhaust To Finish It Off, But Cars Going Soon So I Dont See The Point

 

[phillpotts92]

Soooooooooo annoyed the weather has frozen the thin cables on the led strips and caused them to snap!

Lol want the sound of m y exhaust alex?

 

[ALEXZ360]

Thats Abit Of A Bummer, And Lol I Just Want The Exhaust To Be Louder, Its Mostly Coming From The Air Filter At The Moment

 

[phillpotts92]

Yea I know what you mean. I taken the filter off one day for mot and it was only noise from the exhaust

 

[ALEXZ360]

I might just get a custom backbox for about £100 - £150
