Default scaffold pole exhaust

sounds stupid, anyone ever made a pipe from scaffold, im thinking of trying it out, from the centre silencer to the rear of the car, if that makes sense

good idea well i took my back box off and it sounded quiet but epicly cool its a magnex centre and magnex back box but i took back box off, drove arround for a day was so fun and was not that loud, so im wanting to just go straight thru from centre pipe?


because people take out centre silencer , why not just remove the back box ?

Ok but why scaffold pole. If your going to do it at least use proper exhaust pipe but prepare to be nicked

In a word NO,you`ve got enough posts to buy stuff in the wanted section just look at exhausts like supersprint etc.

If you really want it get some proper sized tube cut flange off on centre section and cut tip of backbox. weld tube to tip, cut to length and weld to centre section. Now you have to make a couple of hangers for it to mount propery. Easy but just stupid really.

I have a straight through pipe which may as well be a scaffold pipe...

Creates a lot of flames, popping banging etc downside is its verrrrrrrry loud
