Do the tailpipes that let the fumes out of the bottom not look a bit odd Just seems a bit strange having tailpipes facing straight out with fumes coming from under them. |

they look good, and TBH you're in the car and can't really see the fumes anyway!! |

I also have been looking at these on Ebay, and they were for sale at £139.00....... I went into my local motor spares place and they had some simular to what your looking at , these were £29.00 each.(they also had a hole cut out for fumes to come out at bottom. I didn't have my R R S with me to try for the angle position, but measured them to see if they would fit over at end (62mm across) but the skywalker guys exhaust are better looking coz there oval shaped. what do you think? cost V looks Stephen Hughes |

NickM I have those as well only problem I have is that one is slightly out of alignment as I suspect the exhaust isn't put on quite in the fore/aft line of the car, but you have to look hard to notice it. If you go for them then also go to an autostore and get some heavy duty stick on pads as they can vibrate against the cut out in the bumper or the counter balance/ damper weights and will rattle a little. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I have been researching this for a few weeks now. I have the ones that slide on that sell for 139. I love the look from the back but hate it from the side. James Beard from Griffin Performance Products makes this in the straight 12" version but you have to buy the mufflers as well and they are pricy. I have asked him if he will sell just the 12" tips and waiting to hear back. If enough people call maybe he would consider it.

For my 2006 RRS HSE, I purchased Magnaflow 35129 tips, they look just like the the ones on the SC's, I had a local mufler shop whack my old ones off and weld these on. The cost for the tips was $25.00 US each and installation was $60.00 US. After 4 years they still look great. For the roughly the same price, I think they look ten times better then those fake ones with holes in the back but fumes underneath (whose kidding who)!!!

Not trying to fool anyone mate, just a nice easy solution...I must say though, the tips never need cleaning, and the black stuff clears underneath.....but good luck and well done sorting yours out at such a good price - if only we have local shops as willing to help! And if you part ex here, likely the dealer will ask you to take them off.... |
