Got a new exhaust

**Andy** · 17th June 2005, 18:39

After getting 3 wildly varying prices from powerflow dealers, i eventually found a local exhaust maker. He used to work for powerflow but has set up on his own. He seems a bit of a perfectionist, and got the point where i was bored sh!tless and just wanted him to hurry up and finish it lol

I wanted somethin subtle, quiet but a bit more meaty than the standard oval (which had started to lose its chrome)

I think it sticks out a bit far as i wanted it flush with the bumper but theres nowt i can do about it now. It has a lovely deep rumble on tickover but is a little boomy at 3-4K rpm. Hopefully it will settle down a bit?

If you ask me, it looks perfect. Just like the scorpion box i used to have on my old Astra\Champion...

Those were the days...'Till it got nicked!!

Looks sweet Andy... thinking of doing mine but can't decide what to go for.... was thing of something like a "porsche pignose" look in a 3.5 inch pipe.... depends what cash I have left after rebuilding my Mini.

Looks good Andy. In the pics they don't appear to stick out too much, but just right to be noticed.

Thats perfect, simply sets off the back end nicely!!!

Well Done

Easy ?? No holes etc etc

They look excellent Andy, and a decent price. They don`t stick out much, you are just used to the old one which is tucked away, you don`t want to hide them babies...
