The fitting is a piece of p#ss ! however ............... the removal of the rusted nuts and bolts can be a right pain in the ass ! i spent 3 hours hacksawing chisteling and grinding with a dremmel on 3 bolts on the conecting flange ! The piper went back on in 20 mins lol chinky chinky

:yeahthat:apart from i changed to almight VSE. Alot easier getting the vse in than the standard box out!!!

Ps. good tip that i had was gaffa tape the clam around the exhaust tail pipes otherwise you could have some nasty scratches

What's wrong with this :unsure:

Also this and this (VSE - not sure how must of it is standard across the board)

There are gazillions of threads asking how to replace exhausts/fit Millteks/VSE's/Larini, and most simply conclude that it's a PITA so don't bother - or are updated by the OP saying it was a PITA and they wish they hadn't bothered :D A lot of them do include step-by-step instructions though, if you search for exhaust fitting (and start from the oldest threads) :)

Hope of some help; apologies if not :unsure:
