Post by: Zoid on 17 November 2003, 11:39: I've been looking of an exhaust system for the last 3 months, I've come to the conclusion that I'm either going to have to go the custom route, or just fit another standard system..... all the off the shelf performance tailpipes are 3" or larger which I think looks way to large :(

Post by: Gambit on 17 November 2003, 11:53: twin dtm is outdated looking now i think

what colour is your car? if its white like mine then you'll find the bumper starts to turn yellow after a few weeks, but this can be sorted with some auto-glym paint renovater

Post by: OmeN on 18 November 2003, 01:58: Who cares if its "outdated", should be personal choice of what YOU think is cool mate + what you can afford :)

Style is way more important than over trends imo...cant stand seeing some great cars that have gone OTT...real shame.
Title: Re:tail pipes
Post by: Gambit on 18 November 2003, 08:53: DTM was a trend though

Post by: jedi16v on 19 November 2003, 23:04: be careful with backboxes !! . i fitted a magnex oval tail pipe to my old 1990 8v gti i seemed to loose back pressure and i lost the roaring noise from my 57i kit >:(. i'm sticking with the DTM upswept style (mind you the magnex ITSELF sounded nice) :)

Post by: davidhawkins_78 on 20 November 2003, 11:30: I got a 57i Kit and a Magnex 6x4 Oval and the noise is glorious !!!

Post by: Blue MK2 on 20 November 2003, 14:29: My mate once had a whistle on his alternator?
Does anyone know where i can find one or was he lying?

The whistle made his car sound like Mad Max's black car!

I WANT! ;D
