          LOL.....or DTM perhaps, or worse, AC Shnitzer? (Sorry Dave) :)

          I've got Remus with 76mm rolled ends but even though Remus save nearly 8kg I do much prefer the OEM look....Must hatch a plan.

            The bigger pipes do look better IMO.

            This is a Supersprint back box which has a slightly rolled tip. I do prefer the slash cut of the OEM pipes which is mainly why I faffed avout with back boxes for a few weeks and settled on an Eisenmann RoadSport which replicated the factory pipes (stagger and straight slash cut). However I now think I should have kept the Supersprints as they were sooo light.

              I'm not so sure about the bigger tailpipes, I really think the OEM shape, size and finish suits the car.

                It's an interesting discussion as it's one thing I want to do to mine but haven't really seen any that I really like. The standard pipes look good it's just they're far too quiet....

                That shot you have put up Chris is great to compare.... maybe we need an exhaust gallery thread?!

                  There you go Ian.....Remus 76mm on my car, just a little bit too Max Power for my taste so I'd like to change.

                              As Spooks said I prefer standard but... a tad quiet!!
