(S) New Exhaust : am i the first?

well it arrived yesterday in the post.

very well packed. so well packed it took me 20 mins to unwrap it

its second hand as im currently very very skint its a slash cut, dual square exit with rounded tips.

being fitted on tuesday by a mech whos a good mate of mine "yeh, givus a tenner"

pics when my memory card decides to work. hopefully within the hour

looks pretty much like this

(not this actual one)

Better to be well packed than the other way round. Looking forward to seeing it.

yeah, i just want it on now!!

anybody got any good tips for cleaning a blackened exhuast?

shampoo and sponge

I really like the standard squarish exhaust.

...but that twin one does look good !

yeah because i have the active i dont have that exhaust. hence this one

Alright mate. What happened about the pics, thought we were gonna get a sneak preview.

Rich

well its pretty shabby looking atm

ill give it a scrub and polish tomorrow before posting, finally saturday

Oh right im with you, hence the asking of how to clean them, lol.

If you are struggling auto glym do a chrome cleaner in a tube (like toothpaste) and it works a treat.

Rich

hmmm

ill give it a good ol' whack with the jet wash

Jet wash never seems to sort mine, although it is a diesel so all that black soot might have something to do with it .

Rich

it made me giggle to see the fitting of a new backbox in the styling section. surely work on the exhaust system is more of a tuning/technical mod - the astehtics are a byproduct!

is it just the back box grandej?

if so, why the hell would it be a technical/tuning issue? also, if he has bought it to alter the looks and not the performance then surely its in the right section???

i am thinking of changing just the tip of mine to a dual exit one

should look good matey!

chill with ur 'why the hells'

just shows a different attitude with these cars, i know i wouldnt be swapping a backbox for another purely on how it looks. i'd be swapping it for performence reasons!

I no what your saying but the thing you have to remember is that with a lot of people on here who own GPs are either young and therefore cant afford to insure a "performance" modification or they are people that have already had it re-mapped and extra power from an exhaust would be pointless as they map is restricted in the first place.

I cant wait for my girlfriend to get her cinq/sei sporting so i can have fun playing around with it and not having to worry about warranty .
