Do I chop up my Yozza?

[sparklesTHEpony]

As title really, bought the car with a Yozza on, whilst I like the sound of it and especially the idle grumble it gives off.. I'm just not sold on the tips!

I have a bit of OCD/eye for detail, so the look of the tips are a thing for me and for the overall look of the rear.

The idea is, instead of going to my local exhaust fabricator specialist who can do some awesome jobs, as with my 1.4 182 replica exhaust on here;

http://www.cliosport.net/threads/custom-182-replica-exhaust.725420/


Plan is instead of taking it for another full custom system, take it to chop off the tips and replace with some more in mind.. I'm thinking a lot like this:

They look like this at the moment;

A few of you might not see what I do but they have the double rolled effect, I love slash cut 3.5/4.0" exits, this one ain't doing it for me.


Reason I'm asking is because I know how rareish these things are now, would be a shame to chop up an original but in my eyes it would make it look better. Not a shoddy back street job either.

That or how much is it worth? Sell it and get a custom made one again.

Any one else who understands my silly first world problem?

I'd modify if you are happy with the current sound imo.

You won't likely get a custom sounding just like it, so I wouldn't risk getting a custom one made and it sounding like crap.

I think the design you have is the nicest you can get personally, different strokes for different folks 'n' all that.

Heres a video of both exhaust sounds, a lot of people are preferring the custom one but then again it's custom so it's one off, all the sounds would be different


53 plate is the custom



If people agree with chopping it up then I'll go for it, not that opinions won't stop me, it's just more of a "classic hard to find" exhaust for these cars now.

Update; just found/robbed these pictures from Hammy77 if he's still on here, anyway this is pretty much the tips I'm after/had in mind

It's just an Exhaust... Cut the bugger!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

If you're not happy with the Yozza tips, get some that you are , simple really . It's your exhaust , do it and don't bother what anybody else thinks .

 

[Jack!]

See I think they look crap, it looks cut, there's no fine detail, being rolled looks much better.

I have a scorpion exhaust, not the RS192 the one with just one back box. I love slash cut tips but for me they just don't work on a clio. My rolled tips looks much better imo- but again, people like different things
It's just an exhaust at the end of the day, start cutting!

Looks like cutting it up it is then! Let's see what the future holds for this art attack.

I'm sure you can get rolled slash tips too though?

Probably - speak to Fred - he maybe able to do something! Though maybe a bit far for you just for some tips, dunno.

 

[sparklesTHEpony]

Yeah they exist, "oval" apparently.

Right so now I've been persuaded/given the ok to chop up I also have pretty much the design ready. Pretty much that ^ but the size of the Racing Blue ones.


I'll update this thread in the future when it's happened.

Inward rolled ftw

Not a fan on the yozza tips of the ones you want to go for, but thats just my opinion...

 

[James Mk1]

I also hate the outwardly rolled tips - I think they look terrible and don't suit the clio at all. I would either go for inwardly rolled tips (I had on my Fiesta ST150 piper exhaust - 3.5" exit, looked perfect), or for the slash cut, which also seem to suit the rear end of a 182 nicely. Deffo get rid of the ugly outwardly rolled things.

EDIT - Just seen you've mentioned going for oval tips?! Don't do it, it will look TERRIBLE on a 182..

 

[Bear Head]

I think the rs192 tips look the best imo

 

[Addicted]

Oval is going to look so bad xD

And I say that from authority, I have 4 of the f*****s right now.

 

[Ashh]

Ovals on a 182? :tired:

I must be one of the few that thinks the Yozza tailpipes are the best looking ones for the 182's!

 

[joytodrive25]

About to ask stainless creations in Falkirk if they can "modify" my Scorpion to have slash cut tips as I think they look great. Might have to ask about potential sound affects though. I really don't want a loud at 70mph noise.

 

[James Mk1]

^ Those outwardly rolled tips look horrible

 

[y0z2a]

I agree.

Upswept with flaps on the top?
Go on, do something different

 

[sparklesTHEpony]

Thought I'd update this as I said I would. So I went ahead and chopped up the Yozza! Got the cat to sleeve fixed aswell.
Anyway here's my now "custom" looking Yozza.. Sounds beefier and louder but that's probably just me and minus a hole in the sleeve joint haha.

Comments welcome. I prefer them :smile:

3n1/2" slash cut.

Dark on this one. Pretty much how they look irl here.

 

[icebergclio]

custom sound for me

 

[Knuckles]

Very well done.

It looks great although I preferred the original tips.

The car looks great too. Moar pics needed

 

[Diagro]

I like those
