Technical new exhaust glowing exhaust tail trim

don't quite understand you!

does the current exhaust point down or straight?

most diesels point down as they do burn oil (thats their fuel) and a straight one will likely make a sooty mess of the back of your car, and get all over the windscreen of teh car behind. hence why they point downwards.
a free flowing exhaust on a tdiesel engined car is a bit pointless, as yes on petrol models they can allow the turbo to spool quicker and at lower rev's, however you must agknowledge that turbo petrol cars are at a lot higher boost than turbo diesel cars and frankly it'll make sod all difference to performance.
 
Hello and welcome to the forum :) It's best for people to post replies here so that everyone on the forum can benefit from them. There are plenty of exhaust choices available for Bravas - from a full exhaust, catback, backbox or just an exhaust trim. If you want to fit just a trim, you could saw off the end of the exhaust, or look for something more complete to give a better look/ sound :)

They do indeed all point down on Bravo/as.
 
even petrol models?

I know most petrol punto's do (I think only one of the three gt varieties doesn't).

I think its just to do with not messing the car up, and it also looks neater, rather then having a rusty bit of metal sticking out the back:)
 
mine pointed down on both my bravo's until i took a grinder to it and chopped it off. then added a nice twin stainless tailpipe. highly recommended (y)
