Hey guys,

Just wanted to get an idea of what everyones ideas on exhaust's were especially on cars with not a lot of power.

Ive always thought of exhausts being a bit stupid if there overly sized and overly loud and on a car still sporting hub caps, And for these reasons alone i never wanted a loud one, just something which looks nice.

Now over the week i set about making an exhaust with my mate to kill the time and warm us up and it actually took quite a bit of work and time considering the 340's over axel setup.

The almost finished product(still needs adjusting and sealing) looked really good cause its only a small tail pipe which pokes out just below the bumper but when i fired her up she sounded a fair bit louder then id hoped, im hoping this will go a soon as i finish it as it blows a fair bit atm but if it doesn't then im probably going to get another standard back box to bung back on.

But considering the work which went into it i dunno if ill want to revert back lol i think its loud because the rear silencer is pretty small so may just put a larger one on.

But anyways just wanted to get everyones views on modified exhaust's, so i dont turn up to a meet sounding and looking like more of a prat then i usually do

Cheers Dan

p.s will bung some pics up tomorrow when i find me camera.

ok i whipped up a quick artist impression to give you all an idea:



It sits higher up and doesn't poke so far out

Cheers Dan

I reckon I'll reserve judgement til the proper photo LOL. Unless it really has a 'Roger Rabbit' half-live action half-cartoon look, in which case I love it.

Erm........... I think I'll wait to see the real pics.
Not quite sure what to make of that artists impression.
Did you alter the bore/remove middle box or owt????

Nope left the middle box on, glad i did as i think it would of been mighty loud without lol and i left the bore as it was since it took long enough to just make the back section.

There is a back box but it is quite small, I just really wanted to see what the general consensus on exhaust was? cause i always thought they were frowned apon unless they did something power wise lol. Oh and the artist impression took less then a minute and my photo editing skills are terrible lol

Sorry, but it had to be done.

Looks bit similar to what I have in my car:


It actually does sit bit higher now as I managed to weld proper pieces of metal into it so it is not kept place by only with metal wire

ive got a 2.5" inch system to a 4.5" back box. But i am sporting a 1.8 16v and other pieces in mine....

David vizard always says 2" of diameter per 100 horsepower is fine if it's a reasonable design.

then 2.5" sounds resonable lol. its straight through lol just a back box

Not like this then

nawt wrong with that
