Exhaust
My mid silencer is vibrating like a good one. Does this mean that i need a new one. My question is can i get this cut out and have a piece of pipe welded in.

It could be that it's just hitting the heatshield, I'd check that first. And yes, you can get the silenser removed and a straight pipe welded in, or you could just buy a straight pipe.

Yep I had that done about a fortnite ago, pulls better IMO too 
Custom exhaust shop I use charged £50 to remove the centre pipe, cut box out and replace with a brand new bit of S/S
