laumk7 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I was after opinions on the pros and cons of exhaust trims, ie the trims used to make a standard exhaust look more 'sporty'. I've already been and bought a twin exhaust trim for my new car as I think it'd suit the body kit / dress up kit optioned on the car already. Pros as far as I can see is: better looking Standard exhaust so no f@rty noises Compliment dress up kit for an overall cleaner look Cons: Some trims are prone to rust (mines SS so I hope it won't) Attracts 'boy racers' Some exhaust pipes may need to be trimmed to fit Can you add anymore pros and cons (iyo)?

L666JER Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Is it one of those clamp/bolt on things? If so make sure you get a VERY good fit when you install it or it will be rattling around everywhere (I know from experience) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yes it is :d I was going to get the techs at ford to fit it for me before I collect the car as well as do some other little mods for me ;) Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC600 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Got one on my Escort, just got one that was a tight fit and screwed it on. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ91 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Had one on my Astra (not added by myself :P) and it rusted and eventually fell of whilst i was driving. Heard a loud noise and did realise till a few days later it had gone ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Downside with the twin pipes is they are a pain to clean. If you wash the car with a sponge it is difficult to get between the 2 pipes and you really need a cloth for it. If you go to a car wash it will be filthy within weeks between the pipes as they wont take the time to clean between the pipes. I had these exhaust tips on my bmw`s and they do foul up between the pipes fairly quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
