exhaust question

[Rootyuk]

ok my standard tailbox needs replacing but its a bend over end pipe.

is it possible to have a straight end box put on or will i have to get a bent over one?

yes you can have a straight tail piece but you will need to cut a lip in the bumper if there is not already an exhaust recess. They are direct fit as i had a VTR exhaust when i had a 1.1 but i had to cut the bumper to allow the tail piece to come straight out.

does it have to b a vt tail peice or are there any others?

if you get a custom backbox you can have any tail pipe you want really buddy. my friend had one on his 1.1 forte, it sat just under the bumper. mine, however as its a bigger bore the bumper was trimed to make it sit right.

oh rite, didnt really wanna cut the bumper cos im a bit lazy :P jus looking for somethin like a 3-4" one with a bit of noise.

any suggestions?

[Ben_L]

If its just noise the custom exhausts are ok. Is that 3/4 of an inch or 3-4 inches?
Personally i'd go for maybe something like a 2"/2.5" exit. Otherwise it might look out of place like on my car lol.

haha cheers for the advice mate, iv searched for exhausts but cant really find anything as i didnt really know wat i was looking for.

do u know any good links to any good sites etc?

[Ben_L]

well theres a place near me called 4xtreme Performance where i got mine done, which is probably about a hour 45mins/2 hours from you. This is the link to their site, not the best site but gives you an idea.
