I would loose the pea shooters... never have cared for that style of exhaust. But hey! It's your car, not mine. Great thing about Baja bugs - none of them are alike. Make it the way YOU want and don't let anyone tell you different.

Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

I have the same cap, and after 70 miles of road I bet no one here would dare to go on. My cap has never come loose. By the way I will never go back on that trail. It was just not fun. Think of a gravel road. Now make all the rocks the size of cantaloupes. millions of them every where. No flat or smooth ground. You can't even imagine it unless you were there..
Point is. mine never gets loose. Save your cash until you know you have a issue.
