Modifying Stock Exhaust

[Socrates]

I don't understand what's going on here

the man just wants his exhaust tips enlongated and then there's people saying get a full new exhaust?

As long as no mufflers are touched, making exhaust tips longer will make minute difference, if any to the sound of the exhaust.

Am i correct to assume stock exhaust = quiet? if so, will make no difference to sound. Only as long as the mufflers are left as is and just the last pipes are extended.

You've never seen a sexy Hyundai or Honda with a cannon have you? Of course the tip makes a difference to sound, it sounds terrible! The tip of the exhaust on a stock exhaust is a type of muffler, if you change that muffler without changing the exhaust it sounds like absolute shite! Victor said he wants to change the tips, hence going to sound terrible. You can't get aftermarket tips for cheap that are going to sound good, high quality mufflers are expensive. If you're going to spend that money getting a tip welded on and your exhaust extended, you might as well go whole hog and get an amazing quality exhaust that sounds like Pamela Anderson on full scream.

only wants the extend it, what, an inch, no difference, if you don't want a full exhaust(Kermit is the man on that one), just buy the tip you want, go to a small exhaust shop, and ask them to put it on, if it takes them more then 10 mins, there's something wrong. shouldn't cost much to do. Either that or make friends with a welder

A++++++++++++++ for Kermit, what a fkn champ such sexy welds and nice sound to boot

[Black_CSR]

+1 for Kermit!!!! I got my Exhaust repaired when he saw a fault for it and it was only minor n he did it for free as it was not the original job Getting done. Got a Straight pipe now with a Cannon @ da back.. Crackly Deep Sound

Can the op post pics of his exhaust from underneath from the diff back so it's clear what his setup is?

Ok.

Sorry guys. I am abit confused now, with some saying crap sound and some no difference. I probably call Kermit on this before deciding on it.

Yes, I just want to extend an inch and maybe, change the tips to abit bigger stainless steel type. I can asure if Kermit also agree that it will sound crap, I won't do it. I rather save up and get a full system.

I am not after any sound or power improvement as I only drive it on weekends for relaxing cruise. Plus, if I get asked by an offier what exhaust system I have, I don't want to say it's aftermarket at this stage.

Thanks, guys for all the replies. I learn new things everytime on SAU.

He never said he wanted a CANON on it just an extension to clear his rear bar which any exhaust shop or kermit could do in 5 minutes thats why i say get off ya arse and do it as it won't make any difference to the sound

IMPOSTER!

put up pics of how it is atm!

if it sits in i say extend it as cheap as you can to suit your body kit. just get it cut from behind ur muffler/before ur cat and extended with its current width pipe -ie 2.5" etc

i saw a *sigh* 2 door rice car yesterday i cant remember what it was but it was like a mighty boy equivelant in a car, it was fully kitted up and the rear bar was made for twin exhaust but he only had a single! looked so stupid!

Fair enough, my mistake. I thought when you said you wanted to put a stainless or chrome tip on it you meant more than just extending the stock exhaust. Yeh if all you want to do is extend the pipe a little bit so the exhaust sits further out then it won't make a difference to sound.

That's all right, Martin. My mistake as well, I should have made it clearer.

I was busy last night with friends. Hopefully, I will post the photo up tonight.
