Re: My new exhaust!

[Matt Coates <bencoates@yahoo.com>]

I went through this a month ago.  Be sure to check where the midpipe bends in
front of the gas tank heat sheild.  Be sure to push the midpipe into the cat as
much as you can.  When the exhaust gets hot it will grow in length and end up
buzzing on the heat sheild.  I chased this for a weekend before I emailed Peter
(thescirocco.com) who clued me in....



HTH,
