My new exhaust

[Fagan]

Before and after pics. Please comment, I'm kind of undecided if its an improvement.

Also, any ideas on how I can improve the look of the cutout. The 182 exhaust surrounds dont fit onto a non-RS bumper. I thought of those surrounds that are used around screen of a motorbike, but not too sure how this would turn out, any ideas?

Cheers.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Cup spoiler and colour coding next, as well as ph3 bumper if I can find one.

Definitely better mate, you don't look like a chav anymore ! lol

 

[Beef-Mc]

I'm undecided if I like that or not.

Overall I think ti would have been better if you had cut a little of the bumper away for the wtin pipes.

Whats it like sound wise?

Looks good... New exhaust looks a lot more subtle and better with the cutout!!

The twin is my old exhaust mate, the single is my new one.

Slightly loud, kicks in about 3,500rpm whereas id prefer not to hear it really untill 4,500. Not too big an issue for me though.

What make is it then bud?

Anyone have any ideas/experience on the surround?

[Beef-Mc]

Dunno, just prefer the twin pipe for some reason, maybe I'm turning into a ned...

Much better, Find yourself a Ph2 172 Rear Bumper and then the Suround will fit

Fack that.. i'd have to cut the bumper!

 

[H86]

looks good

what makes the old 1?

 

[bmh.01]

Why don't the surrounds fit? Plenty of people have used them previously.

 

[martynrg]

very big improvement!

what size are your wheels?

[ChrisPearson]

[Merk]

f**king hell, fagan...

Nice little car you've got, nice debadging at the back.

They fit perfectly on an RS bumper mate, but not a non-RS.

very big improvement!

Cheers mate, they are 16"

Haha quality! Dont think I recognise it but i'll keep an eye out. Do you even see that inferno 182 cup parked outside the houses on saltcoats beach front?

And my car hasn't been de-badged, comes like that standard AFAIK

 

[bmh.01]

Yes but how don't they fit?

 

[Fagan]

Yes but how don't they fit?

A sport bumper is pretty much smooth at the bottom, where as the ph2 rear bumper has alot of creases and indents in it at the bottom, which basically means the surround is nowhere near flush as it is made to fit the sport bumper, so just looks s**t tbh.

 

[leeds_182]

Definatley an improvement.

 

[Merk]

Yes mate, never seen it move to be honest, anytime i go passed it's always there.

you from saltcoats yourself aye?

I THINK it was your car i passed one night on the way to ayr, you bombed it along the bypass and i couldn't help but go in front, you followed me all the way to one of the roundabouts

Same here, never seen it moved. But there is a scoobie wrx, focus st 500 and 182 cup all from the same house. My mate said he nearly crashed into the cup haha.

I'm fae stevenston mate, you?

I remember that nite!!! A good coupla months ago? I had just passed my test and didnt wanna give it too much but inside I was bursting to have a go. Dont remember realising it was a 172 though, was pitch black. We went all the way up the by-pass and you turned left at the end towards Ayr and I turned to Pwick?

 

[Hoppy]

looks better mate

 

[Merk]

I'm from stevenston myself mate, parents live in the middle, Missus is up the "tap end".


Yeah I carried onto Ayr, thought it was your car.

hehe, what are the chances eh? =]

haha, thats round the corner from me! Another car I've never seen being driven

 

[Merk]

Partially because it's fucked, he's a lazy fat **** and never bothers to sort anything on it, haha.

Gees a shout on MSN if you fancy dude, would be cool havin someone I know in the area who's into modding, as i'm a bit of a noob to it masel and you seem to be a bit clued up, haha.

[Fagan]

done

 

[HartZ]

much better mate!

 

[DebV6]

I think it looks better. More subtle

 

[Iridium]

LOADS better - Clio is not big enough for a single backbox twin pipe IMHO and they look crap. The single in a cut out is the clear winner.
