XR6T_ENVY Member 133 Member For: 16y 10m 4d Gender: Male Location: MELBOURNE Posted 09/08/07 11:21 PM Share Posted 09/08/07 11:21 PM The other day I had my centre muffler removed and replaced with straight through pipes. After it was done I noticed the exuast was looking a little crooked. I think it's missing one of the rubber mounts that hold the exhaust on. Does anyone know where to buy these from? Or even what kind to get? Also since I had the muffler replaced I have noticed my T drives differently. It feels like it's lost power and it feels like it's almost confused as to where to apply power while driving. The accel response has deteriorated a bit too. Is this something that can be fixed easily? Or will I need to get an edit to fix it? I didn't think a little mod like this would have any effect on the ECU.

As for the car driving differently I didn't notice mine doing that but I did have an edit at the time. Taking out the centre muffler shouldn't affect the car that much cause as you said it is only a minor mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have exactly the same thing with mine after I replaced the centre section with a muffler-less one from a bf. the tips also stick ~5 cm futher out of the bumper.

It pokes out AND it's a bit wonky looking. I just booked it in to have the rubber mount put on. And I am getting a new exhaust tip put on too just for good measure. Thanks for the help. PEACE!

No complaints though, the pipes sound awesome! I'm very happy with them. I am getting an edit soon too anyway so hopefully that will fix the problem. Did you get a custom edit after putting the pipes in yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be checking for sure tomorrow but, so if you want to wait before bookin it in, I will get back to you on whether it will make any difference.99% sure mine are all on correctly but.

You don't needa check. I'm taking it in to get the tip changed anyway so it won't cost anything to have another look. And I'll be getting a tune soon too so it'll all work out.
