We used to put two 8mm bolts through the tail pipe on the exhaust on the rally car in a cross, so 90 degrees to each other. It wins you a couple of decibels static and you can take them out afterwards. Rally car was making 300bhp so we didn't notice any loss. If you are getting a new exhaust it won't matter if it has some extra holes.

Oakley Classic Cars Evening is cancelled tonight due to water logged ground. They are hoping to reschedule for Tuesday 16th July Derek

I think this part is from Burton Power. You'd need to call them to verify fit but they have one at 3.7Kg Northampton Motorsport will be able to help you.
