Chrome twin tail pipes

[harj]

Hi there,
I'm just in the process of buying my self an 2005 1.9 tdi 150bhp fr.
I've noticed that the exhaust does'nt have the two twin tail pipes on it.
Just wondering if they come as standard or can you have them taken off or can you buy them? or is it better to buy a new backbox?
thanx,harj

hi mate dunno who told you all this but the tdi fr is a 130 mate granted when i had man dyno tested it did actually show up at 147 but is dow as an fr 130 tdi!!

as far as the exhaaust goes it is twin pipes nd on mine it was one piece right up to the cat mate!!!

have you checked to se if it is an aftermarket stainless system??

if its the FR+ its a PD150. 55reg onwards / half black half red FR badge will confirm this plus the cupra r bodykit.

if it is the late FR+(note none of them have the plus symbol on the car) it should have twin pipes from factory.

i thought other than the cupra/fr's the others had hidden pipes , ??

mine came with twins , when i upgraded to miltek i kept the same look ,

Just so you know, ibizadoyle is talking about Ibizas, volvic is talking about Leons. You don't say which car you're buying, but if it's a Leon FR TDI then it will have twin tail pipes because all the hot hatch Leon TDIs did, the Cupra and FR are identical and the FR+ has the LCR rear bumper but standard FR twin tailpipes.

Sorry I did'nt state that it is an leon,I should have stated that I wanted to know about the chrome twin pipes,do they come as standard? because the one im buying has twin tail pipes but no chrome pipes.Sorry for the confusion
