Ok this has been resolved , for free and in 30 minutes!, the front pipe wasnt faulty , I had made an error which had caused the problem ,
just updating in case anyone else had a similar issue. Recently I replaced the centre bracket on the exhaust , I had actually replaced it upside down so the exhaust literally hung approx 1/3 inch too high and was actually lifting the exhaust into the manifold by approx 1/3 inch , this made it unstable. how now reversed it and its solid , I appreciate all of your comments, Thanks again

Looking at a new one for mine now. The britpart system has lasted 3 MOTs but will not pass another one. Thinking of stainless but now see they do a standard bore or a two inch one. Any advantages to the big bore on a diesel or are they just for the under 30s with an inferiority complex.

Does the big bore go all the way to the end ?

Depends of which end you inquire.Does the big bore go all the way to the end ?
There are many things to cogitate such as aesthetics, back pressure, flow, tone, fracture resistance and the like. Just wondering the level of importance on such options. I realize the manifold will remain a constant as will the exhaust ports and channels betwixt but there must be a reason for the option of a two inch even if it is only nonsense.
