Default Back box pictures,

Hi all,

Right i currently have a 4" outwardly rolled tip on my car, personally i think it looks pretty cool, but i am currently (trying) to restore the car and want it to look as 80's stock as possible, so its getting amber indicators, standard wheels and coloured back lights etcetc. But at the moment im not sure if the exhaust is the way to go....

Does any one have any pictures of different style back boxes/systems fitted? Would really help me decide, part of me thinks the 4" would still be cool on a standard looking car but hey....

Cheers

Rob,

Lol cheers for the replys lads and link,

Still undecided, would like to make my mind up before i put it back on the car as i will be having what ever exhaust polished before hand.

Here is it with the 4inch





Guess i just want it to fit it when the car is done, ignore the lights, wheels and badges in the pic etc. as are not going back on

Rob,

Hi
This is my solution. 2.5" out. Maybe i will change different box in future. Car is pretty silent to drive easily. Not boyracer exhaust.
