Look cool and sound great... hell yeah! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't surpose you could get the pagani zonda pipes?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to get twins though in the stock position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer was full of it. They put a mounting bracket on back to front and that made the whole thing skewiff. But they were right when they said the left sticks out more than the right, its just its a few mm not inches!!! I looked at it fitted on an xr8 (a cop car mind you) and mine is now the same.But im happy now anyway. And I dont understand why people are questioning it. Isnt the standard factory system 2 pipes anyway?? All its done is redirect ono to come out the other side of the car then bolted on some new rear mufflers with 2 outlets!! Why you ask??? Because it looks f*ckin And as to the question of why isnt it an xr8... I didnt know 8s had quad pipes??? Its hard to see them in my rear view mirror.....

Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 3m 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 01/02/06 04:43 AM Author Share Posted 01/02/06 04:43 AM Well after writing that last post I went to take some pics. I noticed that athough it was much better the left was still lower than the right. Couldnt be f*cked driving back to herrod so went down my local exhaust shop and asked them. They agreed and cut 10mm off the left mounting bracket and rewelded it, fixing the problem. (and they did it for a few cans) I also noticed that the left muffler is twisted slightly. And another reason it looked f*cked is because the dealer did a bad job of cutting the rear bar, making the cut out about 20mm smaller than the factory one on the left. My point being this, if I had of known about all this crap I would not have bought this system. I wouldve had a system custom made (for less im told) at my local shop. It looks good now but I think I spent to much cash and time on it.In future I will avoid herrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
