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)

Also met an interesting man…. For those in the know !

Very friendly and didn’t mind talking about his career ( probably for the millionth time) …. (That’s what he said about me !)
