Tailpipe on M-Jet 130

Does anyone think its a bit small for the car? Especially parked next to a Fabia VRS...

Looking for a 6 x 4 oval to go there instead now, had a quote of £189 for the backbox but I'm not really fussed on engine note and any measly extra 1/2 bhp.

I don't see why I just can't take the tailpipe off and chuck a bigger one on, any ideas where I can get a cheap one on that spec?

Ta.

Re: Tailpipe on M-Jet 130

its your choice wether you want a new exhaust or not

just be careful as dont forget its a diesel so if you change somethings, it could make it more smokey

Re: Tailpipe on M-Jet 130

Was that for a stainless steel backbox? If it was its not that bad a price. Try makes like magnex, peco, sebring etc, they tend to be cheaper. As already said, you can get tailpipe trim which is basically bits of stainless steel tube thats supposed to fit over the end of your original exaust and make it look better, but often these will not fit correctly and look obvious that they are "fake" as it were. Go for a stainless back box... that way youll get exactly what you want and it will last the life of your car and you will never have to replace it again.

Cheers,
Alan

Re: Tailpipe on M-Jet 130

no i have not seen the fabia rs but thats not the point. In my opinion the GPS has a big enough tailpipe dispite how big the sokda's is. Its not a competition.

Re: Tailpipe on M-Jet 130

The fabia VRS's exhaust trim suits the car it's on, I agree the tailpipe on the GPS is a tad small, and I quite like the look of the abarth trim. Look on international ebay and theres a few different styles of trim going. But like what has already been mentioned, the fitment is not always great and may look too fake.
