Tailpipe choices

[Batesy8]

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

[projectmick]

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?

[Batesy8]

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

[toffe30]

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!

[Batesy8]

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

[Omi]

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!

[Mtech327]

Great idea, how much would it cost?

[fingerman]

£5 er each strap ons from Lidl

[harry_p]

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

[Batesy8]

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.

[GDBN]

Scorpion .....



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

scorpion exhaust sound aswsome

[snoops]

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

[Batesy8]

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...
