Buddy Club Spec 2 is the lightest exhaust available!!!!!

They weigh absoultely nothing due to having 2 bends in a drainpipe :lol:

Quite a few of the single exits are lightweight though too......

How long a pipe are we talking???

If you had a short straight pipe it would ground out, or be directly under the engine bay, so any flames from the exhaust will end up risking engine fire!!

If you make it a bit longer the subframe gets in the way......

If you put one bend in it to go over the subframe you will still end up blasting all the carbon deposits and xxxx from the exhaust into your engine bay or all over the inside of your back bumper.

Its far easier just to run downpipe to atmosphere!! I did this for a week whilst changing exhausts. It sounds xxxx!! Loud as hell but the fumes give you a massive headache....Sounds really farty too.

The best part about running that setuop though was just how loud the turbo spool was!! Could hear it whistling from 50ft 8)
