there's 3 of them silencers in my system. so its fairly quiet for a 2 litre.
it catches at the front of the exhaust on some speed bumps. the rearr silencer in the pic catches if i'm half on/half off a high kerb

yeah its just a silencer, but there are another 2 at the begining of the system. i didn't have any troubles at my mot centre.
i've just realised that it only catches on the kerbs at my mums house because theres a gauge out of the grass/soil so the kerb sits proud as the rear wheel goes into the dip.
