I agree, tidy that hole inspection port up and it's a handy addition.
As well as the top hanger rubber stretching over time, eventually the silencer top hanger bracket cracked, all this lowering the silencer onto my towbar with a consequential rattle, drove me mad!
The Suzuki silencer is a big heavy lump in a small space, so once cracked I had an exhaust company make me a smaller silencer....
Sorry not an off the shelf item, but also not that expensive considering it was hand made and has a lifetime warranty.
 
Like all modifications the Jimny was instantly 100mph faster, simply as it removed 200kg of dead weight. But more importantly that rear end rattle had gone, so now I could enjoy all the other front end rattles as before

what about the condition of the disc brakes ? if its bent or out of balanced but with an overall good thickness you could lathe it and get more miles out of them, i've done this before because the car started shaking when i brake and it fixed the problem
