If its a mono,take a look under the seat area around where the silencer bolts on.Check for any signs of stress or cracks.Some subframes have been known to snap. [/quote]

SOME subframes, Mines done two in 18 months. I hope these have been modified on the 05 models. Its those silencers, what a heavy pig they are (its the cheap termi). For a strongish money exhaust you would expect titanium , i did not think the stainless was that bloody heavy.

If you do not want to keep replacing subframe (if they do not get modified), get the lightest exhaust posible + avoid absolutly any bumps.

p.s Get 05 999 at all cost in Black make a bip mono and then you've got a strong subframe, because i think they are steel.
