I'm pretrty sure im going to get a stainless for my tech 1, but i'm undecided on the tailpipe, whats everyones preferences, or got pictures, preferably on tec 1s

Depends what you want from it - you can keep it OEM with just a straight pipe, a few on here have an upswept (dtm i think) tailpipe which can look quite cool.

Just try and stay away from 4" chrome council stuff!

I personally love the twin stainless that slant to the left think the look so , Maybe if you get it custom made you can pick the tailpipe at the garage then it whatever takes your fancy?

I think i'd like to do that, itsmore pricey though surely?

here's a pick of one i think?

think it looks the dogs!

Not really a fan of that, maybe its just because i want to disagree with arsenal fans in geneal! Up the spurs! I'm thinking maybe a dtm or straight out le mans type thing? Would love to go to a place that makes them and try some out

lol...... maybe ask a few people on here where the best place to go and get a custom exhaust is? find out all the pro's and cons?...... can only really recommend somewhere in bournemouth(Mike stokes motorsport) they always been good to me and do a good job imo? but no good to you if your miles away!!!

I tried to keep mine original and went for this style on my C2:



Not a big fan of the DTM look, but the slash cut does look cool!

Thats what i have at the moment, however its just the backbox and the sound is disapointing

I had the same problem with my stainless system and replaced the centre section with straight through pipes, sounds much better!!

All I need now is a 6 branch manifold

Ask the exhaust shop to get a 3" section of normal pipe, satin polish it. Cut it at a 30-degree angle and weld those to the backbox as a pair of discreet but meaty-looking tails. Classy, not chav!

Great idea, how much would it cost?

£5 er each strap ons from Lidl

what Omi says.

looks fantastic without being chavvy or ott.

that or just a pair of straightforward, sensibly sized inwardly rolled pipes.

stay well away from the sort of thing you'd usually find on an rs turbo

I've never liked inwardly rolled pipes thought, i've always had outward rolled, it looks more "right" to me. My rs had a 4" scrpion system on it and was lovely and the capri had a 3" sportex which was ok too.

Scorpion .....



Great noise too ... not as growly as a Scorpion.

scorpion exhaust sound aswsome

straight twin 3" or 3.5" rolled inwardly/outwardly rolled pipes for me every time

mij quoted me around £300 for a system and box of choice, will probably ask them to do a muck up of some to see, but im liking twin straight outward rolled. etterbox shape on a tec1 bumper could look good though i think...
