make sure you get stainless though, as the mild steel gathers moisture, goes hard then just breaks

You guys must leave your motors on the drive & just dribble over other peoples vehicles photo's for your pipes to last that long! ;) :-'

Post by: mentalmoshio sophs V8i on January 10, 2008, 12:26:21: surely the simple way to make side exist is to cut the rear box off then use a 90 degree bend turn towards the wing then a other bend then a exhuast tip out the side weld it up in the right postion and it wil be alot stronger than flexi pipe

Post by: Range Rover Blues on January 10, 2008, 14:51:34: As an aside, I have a mate who converted his VW camper by fitting a Vauxhall Bravo pick-up engine. For the exhaust he used every bend from a 200TDi exhaust system, but none of the straight bits :lol:

Post by: Disco Matt on January 10, 2008, 17:48:28: Surely you want as few 90 degree bends as possible? Just thinking about keeping it free flowing. You could get away with the pipe exiting the side at a 45 degree angle (obviously you'd have to cut the end flush with the side of the car rather than having it protruding).
