Anyone got a photo of the xu1 muffler with the correct hangers etc
I've got a brad mer ricks system I'm getting fitted soon and just want to make sure it's done properly

[grumpy xu1]

Hi Paul, triangle bracket go's on the front of the muffler with a clamp on it & attaches up to the front hanger. & the tailpipe clamp goes around the right hand tailpipe, joins to the skinny steel bracket which goes up to the rear hanger, can't really do it wrong. Gary.

Ok , thanks all
It makes a bit of sense now
BTW , brads system has the resonator on it
Should I leave it on or bin i
I don't have one on the car now, just wondering if it makes much difference to the note

Leave it & try it mate, obviously factory it should have 1.

Leave it as is. It is factory original*, copied from my NOS one. I think there is a pic of the repro and NOS pipe on his website.

Your existing pipe could be LC as they didn't have the resonator.

 

The system will have the "correct" sound.

 

As an aside, I know Brad has just taken delivery of the last batches ever to be made, as the factory closed as of 30th June, so if you're in need of a system/section/spare, best get onto it cause they're going out the door as we speak, and once they're gone, there ain't no more!!

 

* Only alteration that was done was to raise the pipe 1/2" over the front sway bar to stop it hitting as the factory pipes always did.

 

Cheers,

Hi Warren, i don't think that he wanted to make it quieter, but possibly more noisy hence deleting the resonator ? Actually seems to be a bit of a trend to shut cars up lately, probably keeps the neighbour's a bit happier. Gary

Is there much diff in the note?
I don't really want to make it quieter
But if there is not much difference I'll leave it
