Does anyone know if you can get an exhaust for the 318iS with a twin exit? I have fitted an M-tec II kit and it looks dodgy with only one pipe sticking out. Was hoping to find a Scorpion exhaust or similar but haven't had much luck.

I'm sure Russ had this problem with his old is with the M-tech kit(now Dom's)

He ended up having one custom fitted, I know what you mean about the single tailpipe and the m-tech kit..it doesn't look right!

Yeah it's a powerflow job in mine (cheers Russ!). Used to think it sounded a bit crap but tbh it's beginning to deepen a bit now so getting better.

Yep like the others have said, you can't buy a standard after market 2 pipe exhaust for the 318iS. You will have to get one welded up.

I had a powerflow rear box made for my iS a while back, new pipe fits the valence a treat, altough you can't see it very well in the picture... I'm hoping to add the Mtech to mine (one day, it's in the shed still...) i hope this pipe will look OK with the kit on.

I saw a place selling a Scorpion DTM exhaust for the iS..but as everyone has said - Powerflow, but the quality varies greatly between from each garage.
Unfortunately, it's created an addiction to twin outwardly rolled tips :roll:

Mine's up for sale, won't be any good for the new engine.

It was fitted in July, I have a pic of the tips

It's a full system

I'll be able to get a pic of the whole system tonight as it's already off the car, but it's at a mates so I won't be able to put it on the net till later.
