80mm tailpipe too chavvy?
« on: 06 August 2009, 19:33 »
Just got a jetex exhaust in the post, it's got x2 80mm tailpipes. I only bought it as a replacement for my existing oem.

I had no idea 80mm was that big, will this look abit chavvy or am i safe?

I only really chose jetex because that's what tsr used on the pimped mk2 they did for fifth gear.

Prob would go with a piper x2 76mm if i could do it again.
