Alternative exhaust tips

[Drumdom1]

I was fed up of the wheel barrow handles and didnt just want the slash cut tips as you cant really see them so i took a punt on some from ebay.

They are:
140mm long
73mm outlet dia
made for a 57mm inlet but filing the clamps that the come with down and making a little slit to allow a hose clamp to be used to fix them on they work.


I think they look good, More 200 like in the flesh.
With tyem being short they dont stick out too far and you cant see the slash cut tips intide so no one will know they are just ebay tips.

They need some black insode them as they are too shuny from new but a 10 min drive will sort that.


anyway

Old




New














I think you could use 80mm outlet max as anything else would look too big, If anyone finds one with an 80mm outlet at a price where its worth buying one just to try let me know.

They looks really good, I've been thinking of doing something similar

Far better than the over priced Renault sports trims, I think the Renault sport ones are far too thin, but that's just me

 

[Drumdom1]

Yup they are.
I had them on for about two months thinking id get used to them but never did.

These willput me on till i get a cat back system.

They look alot better on the car than in the ebay pic!

Dont look as much of a slash cut either.

May have to get a set ordered at that price!!!

 

[Arran]

Looks quite good mate, bigger but not too big.

 

[Drumdom1]

You can't tell they are slash on the car.
It's only about a 15* angle anyways.

 

[Drumdom1]

My thoughts too Arran.
You might get away with 80mm.
But I think these are spot on.
The main bonus for me is you can't see all the way down the tail pipes now so they don't look like handles.

 

[mikey123]

Take it you didnt need to remove the diffuser?

 

[Drumdom1]

Nope.
I didn't remove it for the genuine ones either.

If you wana hide the mounts you can get access through the rear wheel arches.

I used a flexiable adaptor with a umm socket bit on it to tighten jubilee clips,
I made a cut in the tips to they had some room to move and tighten.

 

[Paul]

They look much more purposeful, I like them a lot!

 

[luke3]

Do they do 3.5 inch? I fancy some a little bit bigger?

 

[Drumdom1]

Ive been lookin for summat about that size for ages, and im not sure if it will look right.

The problem for me is all the ones about 3" are too long,
because how the slash cut tups are welded onto the standard pipes i think youll find it hard to mount longer ones without the sticking out too far.

see what ya think of these:

[Gandy]

[Clio80]

Hi Dom

Might be a dumb question but are they 7-odd a pair or for just one?
