Exhaust tip pickin' time!

**Dan850T5** · Sunday 22nd February 2009, 22:26

Hey all,

Booking my car in for a cat back at powerflow hopefully next week but having trouble choosing a tail pipe. I've had a mooch through the powerflow products and picked out a few:

Oval comes in 2 1/2", 3" and 4"

Comes in 2 1/2", 3" and 4"

This is 3 1/2" x 9"

And this one :
2½" x 6"
3½" x 6"
4" x 6"
4½" x 6"
4½" x 9"

There are a load more too: http://www.powerflowexhausts.co.uk/products/tail-pipes/

I kinda like the the large pipe type one, but the guy at the powerflow dealer reckons it would look odd because of the cut out on the bumper, and he's suggest an oval like the 1st image.

Opinions pleasey

Dan

I'd go with the stock-esque oval look. Nothing worse than a silly large tail pipe.

I've got 3" slash cut on mine now

Go for Oval if you can get it, mine has a large round on it now but I don't like it, would much sooner have an oval.

TC, can you blast over a photo of your tip? haha behave

**Tomcat** · Sunday 22nd February 2009, 23:26

Cheers pal,

what size is it?

and make?

**Tomcat** · Sunday 22nd February 2009, 23:32

The exhaust is a Ferrita, not sure what the size is as I've not measured it (sure someone else will know), if I had to guess I'd say 3-4".

**siamblue** · Sunday 22nd February 2009, 23:59

I have a rectangular one on mine, it fills the complete cut out,

Do you have a pic of yours pal?

**siamblue** · Monday 23rd February 2009, 09:26

Bit of a grubby pic, but will get you a better pic later on,

Heres myne i wanted something different from the single 3" and the twin pipes fill the cut out brill

**Big Pete** · Monday 23rd February 2009, 16:07

I have 4" oval tip on my 854R.

I'd also go for Longlife Exhaust over Powerflow any day for a custom one. I know Powerflow used to only go upto 2 1/4" pipe diameter, where as you really need 2.5" or 3" if you want to go crazy, and this is a stock tube at Longlife the last time I checked with them.

The top pic.3 or 4" slash cut would suit the car,its very standard looking and not too look at me! Garys looked nice with the flat oval,twins look a bit out of place IMO.Round peg. square hole i ya know what i mean.

With you on that one pal. I have it booked in for a week thursday and had a word with the chap thats doing it and said i can try the different pipes against the car beforehand

So will annoy him with my indecision

Also, can you have 3" pipe from the cat back or is that a stupid thing to say?

**dob** · Monday 23rd February 2009, 21:08

i would go for 4" oval imho it looks the best. i have got a stupid big oval tail pipe on my 855R its part of my 2 1/2" custom cat back with a 3" 100 cell cat.
tail pipe looks a bit chav tastic but sounds great
