cant say ive heard of that one i imagine it could shoot out if too much was put in due to pressure build up maybe not sure if u can get them here but back in nz i had hidden baffles that opened and closed under pressure or lack of they sat in the pipe and bolted in using the cat bolts just looked like a cat gasket if u can get them they were good

I can see if I can find one but if you need it ASAP prob try sort something else I had them in my r33 if you got the money you could get a varex they're a street/ race design that can open and close remotely open is like a straight thru pipe for race and closed is like a standard exhaust

how many holes would you suggest and also rb25vlt8 did your engineer measure the road clearance as my front pipe is about 5mm to low

Legal height comes from the point so that would be your front pipe. You may be lucky tho if the engineers have passed everything else so far
