I think the name of this area explains it s;) ;) s;)
i cant afford a new exhaust at the moment so i want to make the stock one look a bit better.
i am not talking max power big but i would like something that makes it look a little better.
I would say so - you can buy it as an option from Mr T by the looks of it:

Tem, I meant why a bigger tail pipe s:roll: :roll: s:roll: s:roll: :roll: s:roll:
I've toyed with the idea of putting a fake tail pipe on the other side to make it look like I have twin pipes, just got to figue out how to mount it.
the one on the car is tiny. trouble is all the ones i have looked at are to long to go on our ends as the pipe bends up just a little way under the bumper(sorry if you know this already)
the trim on the 03 is a bit bigger (thanxs for the link kris).
trouble is i need to find one to fit before i take the old one off as it looks as if i will damage it taking it off.
anybody know the size of the tailpipe without the trim on????
thanxs for all your replies. s:D :D s:D

Hmmmm...don't, there are easier ways to make a fool out of yourself s;) ;) s;)
The smoke is visible quite often and it's pretty hilarious when you see a car with "dual outlets" where only the other one works s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
I will get calipers out and measure OD of pipe just behind tailpipe, might be a while, got to find calipers, knowing the wife she's moved them she moves eveything else. s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
Right, my little housekeeper had'nt moved them, OD is 54mm bearing in mind mine an 01 model.
Hope this helps.
thanxs mine is 01 also .is that with or without the finisher on???

If the 2003 trim fits then I'm sure it's big enough - it's about the same size as a TTE exhaust. Wouldn't have thought you'd want to go too much bigger unless you're up for rice boy looks s:shock: :shock: s:shock:
Get the real thing mate and order a H&S twin exhaust; you won't regret it s:wink: :wink: s:wink: s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
the h&s system is over priced.
i can get a custom system from a local suppler for £150.00 cheaper than the h&s(that includes fitting)one of the members has already had one fitted and it is a bang up job. i also get more options regards to sounds and tailpipe designs but i just have not got any spare cash otherwise i would go for the complete back box.
i just want something that is low in cost(around £30) and pleasing to the eye but without ricey boy size.

I would go for the '03 facelift trim as this is quite a reasonable size (4"x3.5" oval) and looks good. I'm sure someone of here must have a spare for sale s:?: :?: s:?:

value for money is subjective, but I dispute that you can get more options regarding tailpipe or sound. H&S will do whatever you want, it's just that there are limits on what will be doen in teh scope of a GB>
thats a fair point but the problem with the h&s system is the more options you wanted the more the cost went up.this system i have been offered is a fixed price no matter what the option.
i dont want to get into an 'my exhaust is better then yours' debate as its going off the original topic , i was just replying to the reason as to why i have not gone for a full system. s:D :D s:D
agreed, which is where the value for money comes in :-) :-) :-)
teh only thing that really determines whose exhaust is best, is the person buying it.
If it does what you want, at a price that your happy with, and a quality that your happy with, then thats all that matters.
