Why go aftermarket? Bush that is fitted is a "pillow ball" so already one of the best..........

You wan't some one to pay for an exhaust at a discounted rate to do you a favour?

I think you'll have to give it away for free the first time to trial it.....it could be a dud. Before you sell anything I would trial it yourself

No, I was saying if someone is looking for a good exhaust then they would get a good deal to trial fit this one for us .... my car will be in a garage for three weeks otherwise I would fit it to mine

If that exhaust is as good as it looks it'll be awesome.

Not looking for a replacement for mine unfortunately but anyone with a stock STi system should have a look if CDF's other products are anything to go by!

The OE ones are very good, do not move an inch, and good quality for not much money.

This may sound a bit daft but what do they actually do?

I thought about getting some fitted next time my car goes in but are they any good?

They allow the window to be open a couple of inches on the wettest of days and you wont get wet but still get fresh air in the cabin. I think mine are amazing.

Great thanks. When I dropped the lower arm to fit my dampers I noticed that this joint moved around lots almost like it was a kind of ball and socket joint. I thought I'd overworked it and loosened the bushing but if its meant to move around quite freely then that's ok then!

I'm having a little trouble with my car it is spluttering slightly under low revs 2-3k worse in the intelligent and sport setting. Sport sharp seems to be a little better however it intermittently it will only run .5 bar regardless of setting.

Not long after I got the car it spluttered and coughed under load and hit what felt like fuel cut. The engine check light came on and it read a fault with the watergate actuator. It's done it three times in total now this.

Fuel economy has dropped as we'll I was getting 27-28mpg and now it's as 23-24mpg not a lot I know but been driving it even more gentle since this started.

It's a standard 2009 330s ran on vpower could it be a faulty boost solenoid? Or worse

Thanks in advance for any feedback.
