Post by: Frankie-Boy on July 08, 2007, 16:10:02: Looks good Graeme,

Did you just loose the rear section and connect with the piece of flexy pipe?
Title: Finally did it
Post by: gtomo2 on July 08, 2007, 16:15:24: Yea just cut it off after the axle bend found the flexi pipe works better for routing it around then a bit of stainless steel pipe at the end so it looks nice

Post by: Frankie-Boy on July 08, 2007, 16:25:41: Hmmm,

I've been thinking about doing something like that for a while myself.

Does it sound any different?

Just get some stright through yank side pipes like on the corbras. Then give it a gently rev next to a chav in his 1.1 nover and watch his car fall to pieces :lol: 8)
Or have a chat with his little landy modding firm they may just be able to help you. this is what there little one sounds like

Post by: Dave on July 08, 2007, 21:14:50: Nice job mate does it rattle? mine is at the min carn't seem to stop it :roll:
Title: Finally did it
Post by: gtomo2 on July 08, 2007, 21:16:20: No rattle it fits nice and tight into the hole and the pipe clears all the metal at the back.
Title: Finally did it
Post by: Guardian. on July 08, 2007, 21:21:10: done a nice job of that!
Title: Finally did it
Post by: Dave on July 08, 2007, 21:22:36: I suspect it may be the body rattling on the pipe not the pipe rattling on the body so to speek :wink: .

Look good mate
Title: Finally did it
Post by: gtomo2 on July 08, 2007, 21:24:13: Thanks.

Post by: Disco_Stu on July 08, 2007, 21:44:24: Mike from here:

http://www.landyworld.co.uk/

I emailed him yesterday to ask how he was getting on with his side exit project, he mailed back to say he wasnt, had sold the motor to his mate who was going to have a crack at it.

Then your post appeared and I thought.....No Way....

But its probably totally unconnected right? :)
