I loved the DTM pipes back in the day but I'm not as keen now........
(I have a Scorpian DTM for an M20 if anyone wants to swap for straight pipes?
)

Can't say I'm a fan to be honest, straight pipes all the way. Who has a big oval tail pipe on their car? It's a 2 tone 2.7 IIRC. That looks quite good.

I like the look of the oval one, but prefer a LeMans style. Not just because I have one!
Scorpion is what I have.

POOO
...coming from the guy with sidesweeps...
...well only coz they where already on the car! Straight twins all the way, or a nice single on the 4 pots. But upsweeps are better than sidesweeps anyday.

Nasty nasty nastiness. But I'm actually quite shocked at how well it goes with the tech-1 rear spoiler!

I put a Scorpion one on back in 1998 when they were all the fashion
I'm after the up sweep being cut off and straight pipes being welded on....

it was a heap of shit really, under the windscreen has massive holes in both sides and the lower rear left side of the car between the rear wheel arch and front door was just filler
engine was good tho as top end had been rebuilt the year before with new cam, followers etc
