Default m4 exhaust springs

Hiya everyone,

Real quick question but I'm sorting out my m4 full system for my curvy but just realised I'm gonna need some exhaust springs for the front header pipes...

Anyone with an m4 system here who knows what size they would need to be?

Cheers all!

have a look on ebay as there are akrapovic ones on there which could be the correct length, or lock wire

Good question. Mine doesn't have owt on there and it hasn't fallen off yet. Will lockwire it later.

I ran my akra system with no springs for ages and it didn't fall off either

Cheers everyone! Cheers also for the spring size Rowdy

I'm tempted to run the system without the springs but sod's law says it'll fall off sooner or later...I might end up doing both, putting the spring on then lockwire through the spring and leave a little slack in the wire so the spring can still work.

So off to ebay to get two springs 75mm for a fiver plus p & p...

Cheers again for your help people
