    Twin exit exhaust

    So thinking about getting a new exhaust of some sort after Christmas. Not looking for performance or anything excessively expensive. I'm thinking of going to kingswinford tyres? I want a twin exit similar size to the standard tip but a circular one instead of oval.

    would this be really expensive? I'm not bothered about noise if I could have a bit of rumble that would be good but not essential.

    Would i I need my bumper to be cut up aswell? Or would they be able to sit the new tips under neath the splitter?

      Best bet is to pop in, they can tailor make a system to suit your requirements, there is a cut out on some splitters, maybe its 5 door variant though, don't quote me on that though.

      Might do that do you know if they open on weekends?

      I think it's a toss up between the exhaust or a remap after christmas not sure which should be first

      Exhaust first, remap will cover the exhaust but not the other way around....

      Kford tyres are open weekends til 5 sat and 12/1 sundays they have moved locations now only round the corner by penn models.. As there is a lidl being built in the original spot.. And shouldnt cost that much mate and id just get a catback system with a silencer will sound nice but not too much and they will do twin exit coming out the sideskirt if you really wanted to mate they literally do it how you want it and stand with him and watch lol

      Ive had 2 done there. First one was on the 888. Thought I'd remove the magnex backbox and put a straight through pipe with oval tip which cost me £50 but didnt last long. Preferred the sound of the magnex rumble. That sound was something else. Then i took my 5dr 1.7 there to have a straight pipe put in from the flexi back so no main cat or boxes. Had that pipe with oval tip to fill the bumper gap which Mark cut out and made fit. Had a bigger pipe too and that cost me £100 where i then scrapped my cat for £80 so really cost £20 and the sound was really nice. I'd say give them a call and speak to Mark and see what he quotes you. It will be more if you decide to have a backbox in but if you decide to just have a cat back straight pipe with oval pipe it should be around £100 and will also pass MOT. If you want to decat then best to just get your cat gutted out for MOT reasons

      not wanting to cause myself problems with MOT's and anything like that in future...i'm happy with the most legal option with a bit of rumble, I just pictured something like the burg corsa tips on the back of my car think it could look good. So id be looking at a cat back? not too clued up on exhausts (or much else) but straight pipe from cat back would be fairly loud? and then id have to add silencers or a backbox to make it less loud? lol

      feel free to laugh at my tremendous knowledge!

      yh definitely have a rear box, mines minimal silencing and is quite loud with a non res centre too, it could be changing soon though as i fancy a twin exit system now a bit quieter
