Gooner_Mike's Ibiza FR 20vt

[Gooner_Mike]

V50 gets my vote!

Not sure what it means by "no-insert" though. Might be the baffle bit inside the tip I guess...

Sounds good. Roll on tomorrow.

It does look like it with the pipes on the inside.

You getting rid of the old exhaust?

Will probably keep the old exhaust as I'm not sure how long I will like the noise of this one. I commute 60 miles a day in this car...

whats the sound like inside the car?
its quite surprising the difference in the bend between the standard and aftermarket part as the standard exhaust looks like it takes a sharper bend in the pictures.

Sounds good. Loads more bass as you can imagine. Drowns out the turbo whistle a bit! The picture above didn't show all of the new exhaust, thats why it doesn't look right... it fits a treat! This one shows it better:

I'd have thought, if you look in the pic you can see a bit "set back" inside the tailpipe which reduces the size a bit. I think by "No insert" it means it's just the 6x4 housing. Without the "lip" inside.

Will see what the Powerflow dealer says first....

I bet she beat you within an inch of your life for putting that down on the white carpet!

She wasn't in... and its beige carpet. I checked it for dirt etc first (if she ever read this....)

Haha! Good man, that's husband qualities....."it's ok as long as she doesn't know."

I might get in touch with my local Powerflow dealer and see if I can get my tailpipe changed!

You learn quickly, trust me...

I'd personally go for a twin exit as they suit the pre-facelift bumper much more. If you're thinking of fitting a facelift bumper in the future the V52 gets my vote

I reckon VAi6s, or Vi6s would look good with your bumper. The cutout has a straight top edge, so a proper oval might look a bit strange IMO

or if you're feeling adventurous, how about the ANIMAL design

how's it going? any shocking knocking?

Good so far Pete! No bangs or knocks. Not sure about the chavtastic tailpipe though...

You cynic... I ran 158bhp at JKM in March. Since added opencone filter and catback cheapo exhaust... and it was like -2 degrees today!
