Best exhaust for a 1.2

[DanEdser]

Ok so I'm going for the euro look, getting my bumpers smoothed and everything.. I don't really wanna get a cut out for an exhaust but was wondering which one would sound fairly decent, is at a good price, and looks good and would suit a "euro" styled car, bearing in mind it would need to fit my phase 1 1.2..

I know there will probably be some trolls here (asking about exhausts on a 1.2 and all...), but hey, it's my first car & people like to do stuff to their first car, get over it

obviously it would have to be legal, as I hear that cherry bombs aren't legal (I know they're s**te...)

on a 1.2?

they sound any good?

only heard and seen them on sports!

also theyre hidden, kinda want one that sticks under the bumper xD

 

[Joe#]

Yep, I've got one on mine.

They give off a nice sound, but arn't chav loud. Mine pops like fuxk too actually.

The fact it's stealth appealed to me as well.

did you just get the back box or whole system?

im just looking for a backbox tbh

 

[Joe#]

Cat-back system.

 

[DanEdser]

:/ still looking for a visible one..

I was looking at getting a cherry bomb :L then realised they werent legal (IDC if people call me a chav or w.e i know i'm not) they sound loud and are cheap for what they are :L

 

[DanEdser]

I can't say I've ever heard off them. I'm not keen on the twin pipe one.

Buy a ktec

 

[DanEdser]

nah im not keen on twin pipe either

if im just looking for looks and sound, would it be best to get a back box yeah? I am looking for the right thing xD

also looked at some videos on youtube of those exhausts, sound pretty terrible tbh

Get a recessed exhaust like this if you want it on show.

would that fit under the bumper without a cut out?

 

[Joe#]

Which sounded terrible?

 

[Fletcher]

If I had a 1.2 I'd keep the exhaust standard, and save your money for a faster car!

the twin pipe i linked

im 17... im gonna keep this car till im 21 when i can afford a 182 and insurance so i want to mod it a bit

 

[Joe#]

They look great when cut into the bumper properly and fitted with a trim.

hmm true, ive heard horror stories when re selling though, cos i would re fit all the standard exhaust when selling... unless people on CS would like this?

 

[Joe#]

Just checking lol.
I'll try and get a proper video of mine. I have one in YouTube but it's pants.

Buy a 172 bumper then. Take them both off when you sell up

 

[Fletcher]

im 17... im gonna keep this car till im 21 when i can afford a 182 and insurance so i want to mod it a bit

Oh I see. Buy a 172 when you're 21, then you can use the stealth again

 

[DanEdser]

then would have to tell insurance that ive got a new bumper! i might as well just get a new bumper when i sell it then flog the cut out

I really wanna get a RB 182 with yozza exhaust

 

[Fletcher]

I really wanna get a RB 182 with yozza exhaust

I don't blame you TBH,RB is a great colour.

Hello

 

[McGherkin]

then would have to tell insurance that ive got a new bumper! i might as well just get a new bumper when i sell it then flog the cut out

You'd have to tell them about the exhaust anyway. Or you could just get another non sport bumper.

 

[Greeny.]

im 17... im gonna keep this car till im 21 when i can afford a 182 and insurance so i want to mod it a bit

Good luck with that idea! You will think its to slow by the times your 18/19 im sure.

 

[DanEdser]

Hello

oh HEY der

yeah I know mate but exhaust is bearable, exhaust + bumper D: I'm also smoothing the bumpers... so I might just smooth the bumper and get it cut, get a new bumper for when i sell it

 

[DanEdser]

Good luck with that idea! You will think its to slow by the times your 18/19 im sure.

I know mate, but insurance when im 18 for my 1.2 is still gonna be about £2k... and similar story when im 19, when im 21 the quotes for a 182 fully comp is £800

also if my car looked and sounded good, im not too fussed about it being fast tbh...

 

[DanEdser]

any other suggestions of exhausts?

 

[DanEdser]

prospeed?

 

[DanEdser]

no one else? what about snipers? im probably gonna get a 3" sniper on it

 

[iOllieSM]

Yep, I've got one on mine.

They give off a nice sound, but arn't chav loud. Mine pops like fuxk too actually.

The fact it's stealth appealed to me as well.

Love the sound of this 'popping' on a 1.2. How much was the ktec stealth cat back?
