He said it's too loud and has no baffles, I said he's not done db test he said he doesn't need to as its no baffles.

However he didn't give me fine or any paper work saying I must change it, just advised me I need to/should.

I think I'm going to leave it for now and just keep the revs down

It has a baffle though :lol: I'm running the same system and it's over the 99db limit so odds are yours is aswell :lol:
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Still some paint to come off but its in awkward place so probably use dremel to get it off.

Once i see some dry weather ill treat them then and give them spray - probably just black.

Took the center caps of wheels as well - felt like a change.

i bought them as 120's but they lower car either 110 or 120mm, they look different from most that size as i think they have been compressed.

you'd need to get them custom made unless you are lucky enough to find a used set on ebay

Liked the mesh grill when i first got it but gone off it now, slatted one is more in keeping with the car and lower grill and it fits better

Finally got all the red paint off and rubbed rust down, was a massive pain as the top 3 coils have 0 space between them and bottom two have non either ended up using a file to get the crap off.

I've put some of this rust stuff on which my dad gave me. Its meant to protect it from rusting, when i painted it on it was blue colour and it dried completely black.

Just need to spray in the colour of my choice now, might just go boring black or maybe red again dont like jazzy colours.
