Thought I would modify the famous eBay exhaust system...
I hit put a slash cut on the longer estate tailpipe. Might not be to everyone's taste but its different.
Marking it..

What do you guys think?

I'm liking that mate, looks loads better than the rolled in pipe. Still like my 45deg downturn better though lol
-
Cheers mate! I'm not keen on rolled tips.
-
much better id say
-
I've been meaning to do this ever since prawny pointed out the tooled tip seems restrictive and I think this has just gave me extra motivation!! :grin:

that far down its not going to restrict anything it spits water out though like a drooling dog!
-
On tickover maybe!
But at 6000rpm ever little counts! :grin:
-
a restriction is a restriction the way I see it, it's 3'' from the turbo to the tailpipe, then at the VERY end it rolls inwards and the actual exit is only 2.5''? No thanks.
Looks great mate :)
I've beening to put a slash cut onto mine but I don't have a decent chop saw and knew that a slash cut from a grinder wouldn't end well. Will get round to it when I'm home for christmas.

If you post your tailpipes to me I'm happy to cut them with the saw machine I used. Rally clean cut
Just need to find someone who can engrave :smiley:

Very kind offer, thanks mate :)
