Snug as a bug in a rug.
My mate is a tech for a specialist car garage and also owns a 200, very thorough and a decent chap too.
Will do the other side when the weather gets a bit warmer.
Thankfully the car sits on the drive all week so hasn't been overly subjected to the amount of salt on the roads. But after a 60 mile round trip this morning, it looked a bit sorry for itself. Luckily the weather was pretty warm (all 9 degrees) so I set out on my adventure armed with a hose and:

Sometimes I forget how much I love black cars. I know it doesn't stay like that for long, but it's really rewarding.

great effort Micah..think a nice Recaro sticker on the side mounts would be a very decent additionView attachment 16445
Hmmm... a bit Max Power though isn't it?

Good cop
Deep Black FTW Micah, that looks fantastic! Although I'm not sure you'd now appreciate the comments of a barry boy chav with Max Power Recaro decals on his car....
Car passed its MOT with flying colours today. Was even cheeky enough to ask for it at half price as per the next nearest dealership in their network! As it took 3 months for them to rectify the mileage error on the last MOT when I bought it, the Aftersales Manager was happy enough to do this, as well as get my manifold checked out. £27.42 is what it cost me!

Sat Morning result on the most part then buddy....
AND you might have something to investigate ref the exhaust
AND you might have something to investigate ref the exhaust
Exhaust Investigation Part 1
Tail pipes on the rear silencer are sitting perfectly in alignment with the heat shields. Looking in from the rear wheel arch the box is clearing the car and diffuser nicely.
Exhaust Investigation Part 2
Removed the diffuser and drove up the road and back (didn't want to start melting anything!)
No difference at all.
Conclusion: The rear box is just noisy!

At least you know........
That's right, I'm pleased I've done all the trial and error stuff. If it really grates on me I'll just put the standard system back on. Am loving every gear change though [emoji7]
