I've not had chance to look at my current one, but I've just collected my new one from the Dealer and it has a dent in it.

Should it be there to help it fit over or around something or is it damaged?

That's the other side isn't it? I'm a little reassured, ill know for for sure tomorrow when I swap them over I guess.

Its 100% supposed to go flat around the arm area but shouldn't have that big dent at the end it should bore back out smoothly - its not too bad though but if you can get it swapped easy enough I would do.

I took loads of pictures of mine before I put it on but annoyingly didn't have any pictures of that side bar this one - not the best but you can see where it dips then smoothes back out.

yup - should have that dent in to go over the rear axle - my back-box had the same dent so don't worry........

Just fitted it but forgot the keys to start it up. Going back to the lock up in a bit, I think a new centre section is gonna be needed fairly soon :s

Thanks for your help peeps.

The old silencer is totally different to the Renault one I have now, I'll put up a couple of pictures later for an ID if anyone is interested

Any ideas what the old silencer was? I took a closer picture of the stamp info in case it helps.

The bottom photo is a comparison of the dent in the pipe, the new one was bigger than the old one, but I went with it anyway. Im not really sure if anyone really cares, but I thought it could be added to the picture list in case anyone is as bigger spanner as me.

yes its identical to the one i have

it has been revised with a better tailpipe and it now comes in 3 sections to aid fitment.

The dent is the same as mine - glad im not the only one who thought it was wrong
