Title: New ebay exhaust
Post by: nottyash on 23 May 2011, 17:48
Well ive been toying with getting one of these but kept getting outbid.
Finally got it for just £112 which I think is cheap enough.
As I said before I am not after spending silly money on magnex or Miltek but reckon this has to be better than the standard hidden pipes. It sounds like an air leaksince the remap.....not an exhaust :grin:
Has anyone else got one and do you have to cut the rear valance for the tail pipes?

I dont have one but you will probably have to cut the valance a bit. Easy to do though, just get the hacksaw on it, thats what I did  :grin: :grin:

That exhaust would look good through a 4motion rear valance mate.

the tail pipes on these are designed to sit below the valance so would look odd with a 4mo valance!

Oh yeh lol, not my cup of tea then. Exhaust would end up hitting all the speed bumps lol depending on how low you go.

Looks alright for the money to be honest mate, don't be expecting that extra (up to) 10bhp though, looks damn thin at 2".

im tempted by one of these, see them quite often on there, should look good with an anni valance.

Well its finally on, and sounds pretty good.
Problem is they said it wasnt a direct fit. they had to bastardise it a bit as it was close to the floor and touching the body. Ive contacted the ebay seller to let them know.
Not driven it yet as its still in the garage having the passenger door interior light switch , bulbs behind heater controlsm new CD/MP3 and cage fitted (Mines been broken) and ive carboned all the wood trim.
looking forward to driving it again, it actually makes my 192BHP 525 feel really legargic and slow :smiley:
