My 325 Touring has a longlife exhaust, unfortunately the back box only has a single pipe which I hate the look of and feel ashamed.

I'm thinking of purchasing a new back box with two pipes, can any recommend a good brand which would fit with the rest of my exhaust? Help me right this wrong.

Picture the horror:

Also does my bumper look out of place? Never looked at it from this angle before.

You could always get a twin exit tailpipe & fit it on the backbox, that's what is on the exhaust system I bought off les3002 & it looks well, think it is Ripspeed or similar...

Its very very wrong I know, needs to be changed.

Would a Sebring or Scorpion back box fit on my longlife pipes?

AS it is a Longlife garanteed for ever thingy howabout asking them to fit an oval tailpipe? That would fill the cutout..
