Hmmm.. mine smokes a fair bit as it is...plus it's even more noticeable now with the twin exit.

Bearing in mind that I don't have a backbox now, I think it might be loud enough if i just remove the centre silencer. I'll have another listen to the vid that you put up n see..

lol is there a big diff in smell and smoke and can u smell it with the windows shut if u want a calm drive lol? is it eays to replace for MOT

You dont need a catalyst on a derv for MOT. ;)

And yes it sometimes does smell with the windows up, like if you're sat at lights you can occasionally get a waft or when you go in reverse....but you can only really notice it with the doors open.

I think they seem smokier with straight pipes out the back cos it comes up more, whereas with the tailpipes facing down on the standard systems....it pushes the smoke down and you can't see it as much.

Just take out the centre box for now then....might sound ok. :)

Sorry altech you know i love ur beezer but i guess its just me, im not a fan of the centre exhaust...:( i was thinking you were going for a vxr style centre thingy...love the rear bumper though ;) smoooooooth :p

Im Sorta the same, cant say the twin pipes work for me at all, More than likely a Marmite Mod though, some will, some wont, Fair game for having a go at it yourself though [B)]

Lose a couple of the base plates from the rear and cut the arches about :)

Plus I had a heavy ish boot install so it weighed it down more at the back :)

That's the only trouble with Facelift FR bumpers - the Cupra ones are slightly deeper on the front, can't think of anything off hand!
