a friend of mine had a similar thing on his 2.8,
turned out to be valve seat errosion due to the unleaded fuel,
a slight adjustment on the tappets and the car was fine again,
have you checked the valve clearance????

a good exhaust but to get it to fit right is a fooking nightmare,,
just had to get caprisport to cut my whole system up top get it to fit properly to the car,
does sound nice though, 2" competition system with 3" tailpipes on my 4.6 v8 capri.
Its the fittment quality that let the systems down,

the inserts on a 2.8 are upside down,
and coming through at the base of the strut should be the thread of the insert with a lock nut,
