Fluorescent vinyl will do I think mate,
I am also going to fit naca ducts to the bonnet this time around I think,
The previous cut outs looked good but did not actually aid much air flow I don't think so I will try 2 naca ducts to aid airflow around the turbo area and the inlet area,
Not sure how it will look but it's very much function over form

After the last 2 track days it has become apparent that having the exhaust finish under the car is all well and good if you like a filthy car
Don't get me wrong, I am no bufty but the state of the back end and especially rear wheels from the exhaust is a joke so I want to add side exit tailpipes but subtle ones
So decided for letterbox style side exit on each side and these will be joined with V-band flanges mainly so they can be removed to aid clearance when loading the car onto the recovery truck and secondly if I change my mind and do not like them I don't have to touch the main exhaust,
So I have mocked up 1 side tonight and think it looks good, I will make it sit a bit close up to the sill but need to cut the sill/floor lip join still for extra clearance of about 20mm but I think it will make a difference
So here's the mock up, not cut to size yet just tacked the whole square for mock up pics
25mm high x 250mm wide
And mocked in place with some wood
Ruby wasn't so sure lol
Thanks
Marc

Looks great, Marc. I wonder if it will still make the wheel black though? My Cossie rear pipe makes a bit of a mess of the back of mine. I think the YB is a pretty messy beast.
It will be interesting to see if the noise changes much.
I see you made up the nice foot trays for the foot wells, would you make these for anyone else?

Not done anymore on the exhaust yet as I may leave it till I have some time off over Xmas
Got my repaired alternator loom back and also a new one with Nomex sleeving
And Simon @ Sileck Motorsport Wiring done these for FREE and posted back to me
Now that's great after sales service
Hopefully new brake discs will be here tomorrow from Reyland Motorsport as well

cossie fan (unluckerly)
Never been a fan of side exit pipes my self as they can look horrible like they just don't belong. But yours being long and thin like that looks right and suits the car

Those bolts must be the correct torque and I think ap ones are prob worth having?

Here you go mate

There are different length options so make sure you get the correct ones to suit

On another note those side exit pipes really suit. Nice work!

Bit more done on the side exits
I want to get them mounted to the car in the exact position I want before making the connecting pipes as once tacked on the car things have a tendency to move about when you fully weld them up
So for the reason above and to also make sure there is no rattling against the sills I decided to weld wing mounts on to each side exit and fit them with bobbins
Then for mounting the bobbins to the chassis and also acting as spacers so the exhaust sit nice and level I machined up some bosses which have been machined different lengths to account for a step in the sill
Drilled holes in the sills and I will weld the bosses in tomorrow
Anyway some pics of everything so you get the idea
1 side exit welded up
Simple wing tabs welded to side exit, with bobbins fitted but the ones shown are only M4 as I need to order M8 ones to match the bosses
Bosses I made
Inserted into sills where they will be welded in place permanently
Where the side exits will sit
I will solid mount them while I work out the angle for the pipe to join them to the rest of the exhaust with v bands then once that is done I will fit the rubber bobbins keeping a nice amount of flexibility in the whole system to stop any stress and cracking

Cheers guys
Got the bosses welded in today
Solid mounted the side exits so they are nice and rigid allowing accurate mock up of the connecting tube I need to make up
Made sure it clears the sill stands
These pictures show the angle etc of the pipe I need to make up with v-bands to connect together
Will do the connecting pipes tomorrow if I get time
Thanks
Marc
