182 rep exhaust

[Alfonz]

Ok people i have just ordered a 172 rear bumper to replace my 1.2 basic one.

i want a 182 exhaust but obvisouly wouldnt fit, therefore i'll need to get a custom one made up!
i know K-tec do them but dont want to pay k-tec prices. i have had a quote from longlife exhausts and they said they could make one with life time warrenty, tune it to sound how i want it, fit it and all including VAT for alot less that ktec's price.

However i dont know what the measurements are for the tailpipe positioning as i want this to look 'spot on'.
any chance anyone could measure from the side of bumper to outer edge of the left cutout for the exhaust. and then do from the inner edge of the cut out to the other inner edge of the other tailpipe( between tailpipes).
Oh also what size are the tailpipes, 3.5"?

Thanks Alex.

Standard tailpipes on the 182 look pants, get something with a slash cut.

What K-tec dont tell you is that the 182 replica exhaust for a 1.2 doesnt fit a 182 rear bumper, the tailpipes are a different distance a part. seems pretty stupid to me :S

Cheers for that might get a quote from prospeed then as cardiff is only 20-30miles away! how much did it cost you if you dont mind me asking?

TBH I'd sooner have a 172 cup racer style exhaust paired with a 172 rear bumper rather than a 182 one. I've been toying with the idea of binning my 182 rear bumper replacing it with a 172 one and getting a custom exhaust made up with one exit.

Why do people not like the look of the 182 exhaust?

£359 but he knocked a bit off seeing as I was coming from Manchester so it was £318 and worth every penny. Comes with a lifetime guarantee too.
