    but the problem with steel wool is if you get it wrong and it happens to pop out during the test you get your shit handed to you, this is a semi permanent fix and works really well and cost about as huch as steel wool just takes a little longer
    if I could trade kids for cars, I'd be turning the little critters out one every nine months.

    yeh, well keep in mind that db is a logarithmic scale so the further you go down the easier it is to shut-up

    only problem with that is often when they do the brake test and take your car for a flog they can pop out and then they will become suspicious as to why its happened.

    this is the safe and legal way to do it, someone on rollaclub said its illegal in theyre state as anything that is removable is illegal, these arent classified as illegal as they are bolted in and a part of the system.
