Ever since fitting exhaust … and fitting it too far underneath …..I’ve battled with soot bouncing off underside of bumper and coating doors with particles of engine , and the heat tarnishing the tired chrome .

Decided to mount it properly ( plus I forgot the maniflow logos can be seen now)



















Oh yes … snapped the poly bobbin while refitting …. Had an old rubber mount , fitted that for now ( reads…. Fit the old bobbin and forget it completely until it snaps )
