I would Nath I didn't have one on my 8v and it was noisy..........very noisy

[Jamie1991]

had exhaust made today, very happy with it sounds spot on, exactly how i wanted, however ive got take back for manifold to be chopped a raised higher up to sump! been for a good drive today also, love the power although havent thrashed it to much yet, but all of a sudden driving my clutch pedal shot up and now it stays up in very high position, the car still drives and clutch works and can use gears etc.. but also noticed clutch is slipping now, anyone have any ideas what could be problem?

[c16se corsa]

check the little plastic adjuster on the end of the cable

[Jamie1991]

what could be wrong with that? i checked and seemed fine although i didnt do up the lock nut on the cable?

[c16se corsa]

They have tendency to slip through and strip the threads

[Jamie1991]

sorted out the clutch, luckily can access clutch without taking the gearbox off on the f20's! clutch bolts came loose anyway! then had problem with exhaust, the manifold was that low to ground that it was touching it on normal flat roads, so back to exhaust shop and they cut it off from downpipe then remade it to sit nice a tight upto car and now got about 3-4inches more clearance, thats £500 spent on exhaust now this week thou and on way home broke down, lost spark again! so just ordered another ecu, hopefully that sort it out or loom should be problem if not ecu
