It's not completely restricted, but slight. I've had it on for 4-5months now no issues, but wondering if there are any longterm effects?
Hey shark,

The straight and the u-bend pipe are kind of pressed together up against the firewall. I had a quick look and feel of the piping before I re-installed the cowl and it didn't look like it was squashed much.

I just took it for a very quick drive and everything seems ok. I can seem to hear the bypass valves a lot more clearly when I let off the accelerator but I have no idea if that's new or just because I didn't have the radio turned on.
