 On a more related note; How strong is a spring on the door flap? If you take a non-seized one and shake it, can you hear it clack open and closed? Just wondering if there is any viable way to check the function of the door. My car sat for about a year, I don't drive it very far most of the time and my car feels a little under-powered (even for a 1.5L). I think it is entirely possible that my door is stuck. Otherwise I guess I should just cut an inspection hole in it. |

A well placed hole saw could be used to modify the stock muffler . I have one more stocker , may be a winter project ? Stay tuned ! Muffler laparoscopy !

It's not that strong , and even if it is sticking there is another path for the exhaust to go.
I'm still looking at a way to bypass the most of the internals with little or no welding, hope to get around to it soon. Nothing against the vendors , I just like to hot rod a bit old school |
