Upswept Single Exhaust!

Really like the look of this backbox. Kind of an over the top upswept Mk1 style backbox -



Is it just a case of getting the existing tailpipes removed from your backbox, and a pipe welded back on, or can you actually buy a backbox like this?

Also, if anyone has got anything similar or more subtle, post up some pics please.
Im sure ive seen a few on here before.

Cheers

 

Don't think you can buy them like that, I'd imagine they're all custom made. Not too sure myself, it's a bit extreme! Might look better on a small bumper car

 

Yea i can see what you mean about looking better with small bumpers. But it does look good in the above picture ^^^

I just wanted something different from the twin tale pipes i have on there already.
Ive also got a standard 8v backbox, which does look great, but looking for more of a single tailpipe design tbh.

I wonder what company could custom make one for me then, to a top quality to.
Not looking to get it done any time soon, just want to gather some info on it

 

Maybe the people who make the exhaust can weld a nut onto that broken bolt as well?

 

PMSL

Sorry couldn't resist but have a little chuckle

I don't think that's too subtle personally, but if I know where you're going with the style I know Bosal made a 'sport' range of exhausts which my brother had one many years ago on his mk1 golf cab. I'll have a look

 

Jesus your like a parrot nealey. That joke is going on a bit now tbh. Grow up

 

Cheers g.man. Ive seen the single jetex one they sell for the mk1. Really like the look of them tbh. If you find the pic that would be great. Cheers

 

Its only going on about as much as a wishbone bolt removal

 

Well i'm gettin sick of hearing the same thing all the time mate thats all. Ive already decided that its being fixed by going through the floor as its bent and has more than likely cross threaded so welding a nut would be useless. This thread is about the exhaust so lets get on topic yea. Cheers.

 

So is anyone running a single tail pipe what ever the style. Not a carb one though lol. Pics would be great

 

That looks f*cking dreadful!

I think you're the only one who's sick of the wishbone joke, I chuckled

Anyway, do you have a Powerflow dealer locally?

 

Wouldnt that be an MOT fail? Hot pipe sticking out the back like that...

 

That's.... Kinda the nature of an exhaust there Mat

 

Jetex sell custom parts to make up exhaust. If you buy a silencer and get some part to make that shape then weld them it may work. IMO it looks sheeet.

 

On that car it makes sense, but unless you're is going to look like that then it will look a bit gash on a standard MK2 IMO. Wishbone bolt thread has become a bit legendary now it seems....oh dear!

 

I'm looking for something like this too for mine, looks well with small bumpers but not sure about big bumpers.

 

my car is a driver of a sort and runs a single pipe straight out the back, ill see if i can find a pic, i also have a supersprint back box in the garage that is a 2.5 in single pipe

 

That would be great cheers

I can see what people are saying. The pic i posted above is a little ott.

Would really like a single tailpipe, slightly bigger than a carby one, which slants off to the left. Will have to be stainess though.

 

I wonder if you could get the MK1 jetex backbox to fit on the Mk2? ...

Looks perfect!

 

i had an upswept one a few years back, got it made by my local powerflow dealer. have since seen some of pipeworx stuff and it does look higher quality
