You should pull the silencer out - it seemed to make bugger-all difference LOL

Yeah there's a 96dB sticker on the muffler, but i never knew whether it was with or without silencer. At least the silencer you've got is an adjustable one.

Not 100% on whether it's 96db with or without the silencer

So fixed my clerance problem today. Through in a longer hanger. No more rubbing on the bumper.



Couldn't figure out how to remove the silencer but meh I'm happy with how it is now.

Looks like there's just that one allen bolt holding in the silencer (the vertical one) should pull out if you remove it I'd say.
