Well, after some hardcore automotive loving, my car is showing signs to unhappyness.
On top of the increased underbonnet temps and associated fuelling issues, my car had developed a nasty death rattle.
Turns out the rattle sounds like a something has come loose in the backbox, so it's off with it and away to janspeed on monday morning.
Not a happy bunny as I was looking forward to a run up the hill tomorrow - now I'll be confined to the pax seat.

Think it's an internal baffle that's gone walkies.
Good thing that it's a janspeed as it has a lifetime warrenty.

Lifetime warranty..??? tell me more, my Janspeed back box has a few tiny pin hole leaks on it. Does the warranty stay with the exhaust or just the original owner... my exhaust was a factory fit on the 135?
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

Think it only applies to their high grade Stainless steel ones (304 grade or something)
Eitherway - I've sent them an e-mail asking what my next move is.
Cheers

Hit it with a hammer then the dent will keep the baffle in place - Job done!!!
Speak to Rich and he may even let you borrow Hamish!

If you're not living on the edge you're wasting too much space!

I'm not to be trusted with Hamish...
Best bet would be chop it open and have a look see, that is if it isn't under warranty obviously...
