Hi,

Does anyone know what the part number is for an oem exhaust system, with the tailpipes straight, not angled to the side...?

And the type that the tail pipes are off centre on the back face of the backbox, not the ones with the kink in them...?


I am very strongly considering going to an oem system, purely as my car is a daily driver and the stainless system is driving me nuts, and its not even that loud. Much quiter than the howler scorpion.

Any help would be muchos greatfully recieved. Realoem isn;t great in the exhaust sections for acurate diagrams.

Thanks,

Ollie.

Pretty sure the OEM backboxes have S Shaped or Angled pipes - its only the Scorpion type stuff that has the offset tailpipes.

Whats up with the stainless system ? I liked it when I had it on the bronze turd but then it wasnt a daily driver :o:

Stainless system is just a bit loud in traffic and the like. But I was in a real cr4p mood today anyway, so might ligthen up tomorow.
