Which tailpipe?

EddyH · 02-02-2005, 11:58

I'm booked in at Blueflame a week on friday for a turbo back exhaust fitting but still can't make a decision on the tailpipe. I'm having a diffuser fitted like the one in the photo below (expect my car is an estate!) to give a suitable cutout:

So do I go for a single oval, twin round or something else?

Single oval looks best imho. But a bit bigger than that one so it fills the bumber nicely

That'salso what I'm thinking but then the next minute I'm swaying towards twin round again!

Personally, large twin angled DTM, but angled down not up....

I'm open to ideas as I really can't make my mind up.

I'd prefer a Single round or dual exit oval but as I want to keep it neat and the diffuser above is the only option then I need to work round it's shape.

WayneH · 02-02-2005, 14:07

I would go for the single oval. I went for twin round on my last motor and regretted it. I think the single oval is the best choice for the Octy.

Although, as said, it's all down to your taste really.

Single oval but you do need to get it to fill the cut out like this:

exhaust

have a look at monkey boys gallery if your stuck and want something different !

other than that, single oval shape simular to the standard vRS exhaust but it needs to fill the cut out.

EddyH · 07-02-2005, 10:53

The diffuser is now on and I'm really pleased with it, I'll post a photo up when I get home.

My Wife is currently favouring twin round tailpipes whilst I'm swaying towards an oval outlet.

Nice idea but a bit too Vauxhall IMO.

Joel_vRS · 07-02-2005, 15:38

mmm fair point... i did see one the other day in a magazine and that was twin exit still but half way between square and oval.... it was more of a semi circle shape flat top and came down into a curve...

Flattened hexagonal like the RS standard one?

Personally, I'd go for oval - well, I did go for an oval. Well, first I had twin round and it was a pain to clean (the bits between the pipes) so I ended up with the oval.
