   My exhaust snapped earlier today so i went to a local brokers and the only one they had similar to a straight through was a 1.4 westcoast centre section as it has no silencers, mufflers or cat as its in the mani,
   
   so i got home and fitted it, perfect match for the manifold flange, but the back box flange was slightly different size to the pipe, could this restrict the air flow from the engine? or loose power at all? as im debating on keeping it on but feels like it lacks in pulling power but on the plus size its popping and banging for fun =]
   
   Any advice welcome!
