Hi lads
wanting to get some things done to my stilo while i have money and before my baby is born

is the exhaust on the 1.6 Stilo just the mani/cat to the back box?

if so i was thinking of just a straight pipe with tips welded on instead of a backbox?

The 1.6 has a centre box and a back box as I recall.



Eliminating the back box will make it very noisy and droney I predict - but you may like that of course. Longlife exhausts can do you a custom system in stainless and they have branches nationwide...

The engine will be fine. Your ears will hurt and your neighbours will kill you if the police or VOSA don't get you first.

Don't forget that a turbocharger does a pretty good job of muting the exhaust note.

Sat here in the garage now and there gonna call me after the cut from the flexi to show how loud it is
If too loud I may just go with a short sports backbox

Tried to get a video and an underbody shot but failed
Camera is too crappy to pick up sound and the car is too low for an underbody shot
But from what I can see the 57mm pipe is huge
I'll get more for you at the weekend if you want mate
