Punto (Mk1) Finally got my exhaust fitted, Mk1 punto 75

[chaos]

Mine was cheaper than that It'd be interesting to see if you did actually get any performance gain/loss though Jordan I like the tailpipes, buit personally I'd probably gone for a single tailpipe over a double (but that's just me )

 

[dave]

can only see the ends poking out, got any pre fitted pics?

 

[charlieboy]

looks neat

colour coded bumpers and id probably think it was my car lol

 

[bozzy]

Hats off to you for this effort. Looks every bit as good as most that I have seen. If my single JTD pipe looked like one of yours I would be chuffed.

Thankyou all for your comments

Dave - it was a cheapo back-box off ebay, im at my girlfriends tonight but i will put picks up 2morrow night. the box has a poly outer skin and is stainless inside guaranteed for life. Like i said it wasnt built for performance but i imagine it is a little free-er flowing, so it would be interesting to see if it did anything to performance like you said chaos . So far i rate the exhaust very well, it sounds realy smart and because it has a heatproof skin you could strap it to back seat even, after giving the car a good thrashing today (1 our run on back-roads and was a nice warm day) when i stopped to check how hot it was, it was barely warm on the outside! But obviously it will have to stand the test of time

I had two matching chrome tips off other cars (they are identical) and so i used the backbox set a little way back under the car made a hanger across the two oulet pipes and it hangs off its original place, then i bent the pipes to fit the exhaust and situated the tailpipes where i wanted them. For me, seeing as its just a 1.2, this is my first car (that i have driven on the road constantly as im still 17) therefore i want looks. If i wanted more power id have to fork out more insurace and so until im older i will do without performance

nice, make me one now

 

[Giggz]

for £18 u cant complain. personally i would have had them further 2 the edge.

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

I wouldve put them a little further out but i was limited for the backbox. i could've easily made the right hand side further out but the left is where the backbox is situated. I will get better picks of the whole system when i am at home as that is where i have them.

Thanks Beau

 

[wolfracepunto]

[Si - Punto]

Looks kewl dude and for £18 you got yourself a bargain, I paid 4 times that just to have my old back box fitted lol

I like where the tail pipes exit, its kinda like the Clio 182

Debadge!

 

[Bob in disguise]

Debadging isnt that easy on the mk1, had a go when i had mine and decided to stick it back on once i noticed the holes underneath

 

[AppleSei]

Dont Debadge it!

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

Dont Debadge it!

:yeahthat:

 

[beau]

if you can do bodywork, why not do some on your car? lol, de-badge it ya self

 

[T.E.D. Jordan]

Lol fair point beau, im waiting til i get chance for GT front and rear bumpers then i will do a smooth tailgate at the same time and spray it all up at the same time

Coudlnt find a pic of the system off before i sprayed it, only a final test fit pic but you get the ide. The firstpic is of the backbox too. They would only look good like that on an older car like a spitfire or the like, otherwise tehy look absolute poo like that, and are basically only good for mounting further back with tips anyway here they are:
