had new silencer delivered today from jk for 1.9 watercooled df couldnt believe how heavy it is ; am i right in believin that the weight is just supported on the other pipes no bracket etc !
many thanks simon

Which is why the late system has the support cradle, brackets and things. The VW accountants didn't just let em change stuff for the fun of it you know .

thanks ian so it would be worth me manufacturing somethig to take some of the weight ?
