Title: Exhaust Idea
Post by: TanK_VW on 15 May 2006, 17:04
This is a quick pic of what it may look like.  I am thinking using a mk4 rear box would be the way to go... will it work? is there room?

what do you want to do just hide it? it'd be easier to get a back box made up with a turned down tail pipe then it can be made just how you like it.

Would it not be easier to just cut a couple of inches off the current tail pipe so that it sits behind the rear valance? Or maybe even bend it so that it goes across the back of the car, pointing out towards the side rather than poking out the back?

Yes just want to hide it. 

I will change the standard exhaust for something else, i just need ideas how this can be done.

well like i say you could get powerflow or someone to make up a complete box, or just get the tailpipe lopped off and a different one, that curls down, welded on. pretty easy and tehn you'l obviously need a body shop to fill over the cut out in the rear valence.

ok cheers, now i know it can be done, i am going down the body shop to get some quotes on some rust spots, so will get them to quote me on the valence. the next question is should it be done? or will it look odd....
