Yeah we used to have that happen on the cabs. You think it'd sound tough and throaty but it sounds loud and puffy and terrible and exactly like a terrible taxi.

Yes I found I picked up 25rwkws with stainless bolts. I picked up 15rwkws with high tensile bolts due to the heat dissipating factor. As far as torque goes I now plant my foot and the car goes sideways when I plant it in freeway at 160kmph!!
If you believe this then I have goods I would like to sell you lol

A couple of cable ties should do the trick.

also, like a tractor, thats about right. I6s sound poor at the best of times let alone an exhaust leak up the line a bit!
