Any idea what make of exhaust is on your car as the bung in the link above will only suit the likes of a vortex afterburner,ninja2,blitz nur spec or any other system that has a 4.5' tailpipe,so measure yours first before you buy.If it has a smaller diameter you might want to try one of these :

As for driving with the bung in ,it wont do no harm providing you dont rag it all the time, as it does increase backpressure ,but the noise reduction makes for comfortable highway cruising and ideal for the early morning/late night driving.I had the bung in this morning at 5.00am and not caused me no issues in 2 yrs.
