Your exhaust is hanging down, my milltek with 100mm tailpipes was tucked up into the diffuser. Dont think its the size of the tips thats the problem.

they do look like theyre sticking out loads

mine are the same tail pipes and i have mine flush with the diffuser.

also when the system heats up they will stick out even further

I went from 100 mm Miltek to 90 mm Fox and the difference between this 90 mm and standard 80 mm is still HUGE.

I personally like the OEM look...you are still in doubt unless you spot a standard GTI exhaust  :evil:

Mind you in the end it is all a matter of taste....however on pics the 100 mm is a nobrainer  :cool:

It looks like the 90 mm pipes stick out but that is not the case in fact I took care that they stick out as much/less as the original...meaning flush with the diffuser  :wink:

Btw the 90 mm Fox are welded in the same way the originals were welded (in fact it is now even better welded) the 90 mm ones are nearly twice the length of the original 80 mm ones (which from a side view appeared much more to be a small chrome collar)
