Should have gone to see the lads at HTS Motorsport! There work is second to none! The lad there, good mate of mine, sunny used to work at styles... Was there exhaust fitter and welder.

This is mine, scorpion upsweep

I personally love this style and will eventually change the upsweep to an exact replica of this backbox

Singh i was going to go to top gear hayes first but sunny persuaded me not to. My exhaust is in really bad condition otherwise sunny would have done it but he said get SD to do it & sorted me out a special price with them

I really hate the dtm style exhaust dude, those exhaust tips on the m3 look boss tho 8)

The above style would look nice on your car.

I think a slight angle will add a bit of flavour to it and will look pretty cool!

I want it! Singh im an apna how can you do that to me, wait until i tell rav paji.

Angled exhaust is the one, like german-whips said it adds flavour and a slightly different twist.

But knowing me i'll probably chicken out when im at the exhaust shop and just get it done straight :D

I had twin 3" on my tech2 Sport, followed the same lines as the angled tailpipes, but in 3". Filled the cut out perfectly although it was tight and some tweaking was required to stop the pipes tapping one side of the metal valance whilst cornering at speed.

Don't think I've got any pics in twin form, but I've got a pic or vid of it with 1 tailpipe chopped off so it fits a single tailpipe valance - infact, the exhaust is currently fitted to my 318i.

Can only find a vid, but can't seem to link it from photobucket while on my phone.

I'll have a try tomorrow if the laptop works.

And a quick one of the sound...

Can't seem to get the either vids working on my phone, but the links should still be good.
