The connector is a metal bellow to flex and absorb some vibration from the engine. Without it some of the vibration will be transmitted to car body as the whole exhaust system is attached to the car body

The noise only appear with or without stepping the clutch?
either loosen clutch bearing (grinding) or the audi catalytic convertor (rattling).

Did you check the condition of catalytic convertor b4 they install ?

If can see through then is not a catalytic converter. Catalytic converter have a mesh inside cannot see through it...
Something like this


If take out to change pressure plate might as well change clutch plate too....:driver:

if after changing only the "bullet" exhaust and it cause vibrating sound. it simple mean 2 thing

1- the fitment is not right, meaning the fitter does not fit the bullet correctly, did not allow good tolerance or a bad support or bad hookup
2- the "bullet" it self is faulty, can be a broken pipe, bad welding most likely

in any given situation , a good replacement of any parts should not bring additional issue unless pre modification or wrong part is used.

hmm that means i have to cut off all the 3 bullet an make a new fitment right?..the 3 bullet consume all the space from the front until the s curve space..if i have to make it right with all 3 bullet, i have to make the straight exhaust la right..

actually, if you insist to have performance system to be install in your neo... but you wish to reduce noise, just stick to 1 middle bullet and get a rear muffler instead, throw out the bullet as muffler at the rear, because it will do no good if you keep installing /addon bullet

soemthing like this will make do you good...


I always really hope exhaust guy will start learn the proper to setup proper exhaust, in professional manner, not to just earn money.
the sound you mention probably just some poor workmanship as bullet from my experience hardly will have product defect... because is such a simple product...
