General Swift Sport style exhausts

[Dogspods]

I don't know if anyone else has seen the new Suzuki swift exhausts but i thought they looked quite cool:

Reckon it'd be possible to do something like this with the stilo?

For example, with a bit of bumper modding:...

You mean something like this........

Yep

 

[tobiasnugent]

i thought so

Apart from the skirts thats the Cadamuro kit

 

[adruss85]

that is just what i meant, but if i was going the body kit route it'd just be the arbarth skirts i think. had a quote today, £295

 

[tobiasnugent]

dont body kit it!

 

[tobiasnugent]

Look what i found, just raise the pipes up about 6 inches to sit in the end recesses in the bumper.....

Anyone good with photoshop?

The exhausts are from Power Flow...

(http://www.powerflowexhausts.net/products.cfm)

...but I think they were a custom fit due to the spacing for the cut-outs on the bumper (Cadamuro).

i think iam going with the underneath ones as they can be changed back if necessery

Any good exhaust fitter should be able to cut the bumper perfectly mine was done very well at zeroexhausts.com or .co.uk cant remember but you wont see much change from 5-600 quid as everything he does is cusom made from scratch none of that prefab stuff:yuck:

i dont want the bumper cut lol

Have it cut...as my old grand-dad used to say

"if a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing well!"

Once you gone to the expense of having the back end put right (as much as you can without a descent body kit) you'll never want to change it back.

ahh but if it's done well and looks almost OEM, would it necessarily need to be put back to normal if you were selling up?

My original idea with this wasnt to get a shouty "LOOK AT ME" kind of exhaust, more an understated sportier one that looks as if it could be a manufacturer fit.

I wouldn't care if other people noticed or not, but it'd still look cool to me!

Can see your point, I know it's all down to personal tastes, but there is a line where a mod goes from esthetically enhancing the look of the car to being totally chavy.

Do you think it'll look chavvy? As the only totally OEM car i've seen that looks chavvy are the various hot corsas! (B GSI, D VRX etc). I'd have thought underslung exhausts would look more chavvy?

not at £300 you wont!

at least not for a while, i have stereo to sort out first, not to mention getting the engine fixed

As I said, it's really all down to personal tastes and in the end if you like it then that's the only real opinion that counts. Don't forget to post pics once it's all sorted.
