Default Something inside my renegade

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...g/DSC00095.jpg

Is this normal?

Has it been put in there to quieten it down?

I have had twin renegade cans on a curvy s before and I don't remember them having this insert!!!

Anyone shed some light?

Cheers

Greg

P.S If this is the wrong section, please feel free to move it.

But welded into place. Tac welds. I haven't seen any in the many many exhausts I've had (all straight through, some with removeable baffles)

So, no harm in jamming them out then?

Thats a fully road legal renegade can with full EU construction regulations etc etc. You cant make it a race, or even take it apart.

Give Jorge a call. He could sell you the straight through race pipework,

You can't take it apart?

The allen key bolts in the end would suggest otherwise.

If it is road legal, screw that, I'll get rid. But sure sounds a good bit louder than what is acceptable.

EDIT - The end spouts have even had the "for competition use" polished out.

Hmmm, funny that - somebody got a bit carried away with my 'race only' Renegades as well

Okies, 2 things, take the allen head out and slide the outer sleeve back a bit. If you see packing, then its a race can with an unusual baffle in place. if you cant, then its a road legal can. Yes it will sound better than stock. Are you sure 'competition use only' has been rubbed out and just not stamped in the 1st place. Has it got a BS Stamp anywhere on the can?

It certainly looks like a road legal can from what i remember when i used to hep out up there.

Hi

Yes, most definetely sure the for competition use has been polished out you can partly see the outline of the words on it and you can see the polish amrks.

Took the end off and there is packaging there albeit a bit blown apart Seems it is an unmoveable baffle then. Just odd that my old renegades were straight through. This must have been installed by renegade to 'quieten' it down a little.
