could someone point me in the right direction as im having trouble finding the part.
the part im after is the plate that the 2 long bolts with the tension springs pass through.!
there should be 2 of these plates - one on the downpipe which i have and the other on the exhaust to downpipe pipe.
the exhaust is a 2" bore system.
not sure if this will help mate...cgb

nice try though
Cold mate, with a bit of drizzle. It should be dry by morning thoughmate you really dont understand what i say do you
i will start reading these threads properlymate you really dont understand what i say do you
nice try though...i`ll try again..
thats the feckeri will start reading these threads properly
is there anywhere that sell these.?
mine is actually fixed to the exhaust (scorpion) , you cannot take it off. if it accidently snaped, i would be in the pooh. what makes the exhaust? can check for you mon
its a 2"bore magnex exhaust.
you could always try this place mate, speedbox.co.uk .
just looked on there bud, the thing is..i dont know what the part is actually called so i dont know what im looking foryou could always try this place mate, speedbox.co.uk .plus it makes things harder when websites dont have pictures of the parts there selling.
having thought about this, that plate will come of the exhaust, if i remove the middle section. (its been a few months since i`ve been under a 5) i think i have one down the garage....i will check in a while
Ouch. Worst exhaust ev-er.
Tbf, they don't knock and are quiet, which is top of some people's list.
ok bud, nice1having thought about this, that plate will come of the exhaust, if i remove the middle section. (its been a few months since i`ve been under a 5) i think i have one down the garage
trev, whys it the worst exhaust.?Ouch. Worst exhaust ev-er.

im not complaining as it was on the car when i bought it.
tbh i wanted to fit a sidey but this option is going to be cheaper, so im unfortunately having to stick with it.
For all the different exhausts I've had Raj, the Magnex 2" has been the worst but for the two things I mentioned above. It seemed the most restrictive, especially at the top end (no doubt thanks to the built-in restrictor half way up its chuff), had the least character in it's note, had a crap rolled in tail and a badge on the exit that was half visible when fitted.
The restrictor probably improved low down torque. I couldn't be sure.
You're right though mate, you have to go with what saves the £'s in today's climate
ahh ok i get you budFor all the different exhausts I've had Raj, the Magnex 2" has been the worst but for the two things I mentioned above.

where abouts is this restrictor located.?
tbh im still actually thinking about the sidey, will defo get one if a 2nd hand one pops up thats not expensive.
only thing is i dont like the look of the empty space left from loosing the rear silencer when fitting a sidey.
The restrictor in a Magnex, from memory, is in the end of the middle section, just before the union with the back box. It's an insert of a few inches long (from what I could see), that creates a narrowing of the pipe. It would need drilling out. I believe it's possible, I'm sure Ian S did it many moons ago.
I know what you're saying about a sidey. Even if you have the rear bumper filled in properly, if you then get fed up with the noise of the sidey, you're stuck. Lol.
ive found what i need now on ebay.
Hold on, isn't that bit usually already on the exhaust? It can't go missing because of the shaped ends of the crossover pipe can it?
Or is this bit the one that goes on the downpipe and can therefore slip off/on the back end?
that plate is on the exhaust, not downpipe. your right it cannot come of the front, maybe, slide off to middle section to remove...meaning to go and check....bloody rain.... raj, it should be with the exhaust though....?
Have you had any luck with this part yet raj??
yes mate, ive sourced the part i need, check post 18#
even though ive sourced the part, im now slipping more towards a side exit system now. its just a case of finding one for not much money
Why don't u just get an l-shape pipe made up it shouldn't cost that much and should be dead easy to do i'm sure a man of your calibre could even do it!!!yes mate, ive sourced the part i need, check post 18#

i could, but its time and the fact i cant be bothered faffing around
A man of your capabilities as seen on your profile and by the look of your 5 i would if i were you or else it maybe a long wait i see sideys going for stupid money plus imo they are bloody loud and kick out nasty residues forget wearing good slacks or white trainers and walking around the car whilst its running hahahahahhahah the memories LOLi could, but its time and the fact i cant be bothered faffing around

ive had sidey on 2 previous 5s and had no residues! maybe your car had a cold
thanks for the praise mate
Yeah used to spit black oily like stuff maybe beacuse the exit is closer to the engine and comes out alot quicker than travelling through a whole exhaust system where it probably gets caught along the way.... As for your interests in 5's i'm sad to hear that sounds like you need to get your mojo back come on dogg i thought you were one of the veterans like goonies never say die!!!!residues

dont get me wrong, i love 5s and would always love to own one if money wasnt an issue.
im finding them abit boring now, not because they are but because ive owned sooo many one after another. i just need to try something else which will make me recapture the lurve for them
