Well i've done 150ish miles in it and the only problem is it keeps snapping the rear exhaust mount, i'm using a mini type cotton reel to mount the rear of the silencer but it keeps seperating at the top of the cotton reel, so whats the best option as the rattle is annoying, obviously i can't solid mount it.

Make a "C" out of metal, then run a spring between the two ends to make an "O", this will allow movement while keeping it secure. possible downside is heatsink back into the chassis.

I was thinking along those lines as that set up was on my kart.

I guess thats where I got my idea from, i had a picture in my mind, just wasn't sure where from!

Are you mounting your exhaust bracket on top of the rubber cotton reel they are not designed to take suspended weight i.e. fix a solid bracket to the chassis then mount the reel on top of that ---------- then mount the exhaust on top of that reel

None of mine have ever broken mounted as designed in 7 years.

hey guys im new too owning a stylus just bought an exhaust 4 branch one of a westy have any of you fitted a x floe westy exhaust to your cars.

Doubt that anyone has Stylus chassis being the height and width they are , it would be difficult to either go under the chassis or better still go over the top rail and down the sill , unless you compromised the flow by cutting/shutting

hey rob
the tube weldded at an angle between the top and bottom chassis rails is in the way im contemplating cuting it out and welding in two similar struts eitherside of the new exhaust. the westy exhaust is such a great shape hardly any bends and it lines up perfectly with the sill tunnel do you think this tube removal will make any difference i would expect it may make it better? plus i have a pretty easy exhaust pattern if replacement is need in the future.
cheers rob.

Personally I'd work the exhaust around the tube but if not make VERY sure you replace it on very similar attachment points -- it gives rigidity to the front lower chassis
