Not sure. scratchchin

I don't dislike it. I just think it needs some time to digest.

Hmm I'd need to see them I think, any pictures from the side?

Do they change the exhaust note?

I think your number plate says it allwink

Not my taste, but what does that matter? Good on you!

I've always thought side-pipes exiting just in front of the rear wheels would look cool.

I also got a new back box made instead of messing around with the old one (his choice!), I got him to put a third perforated pipe in and 2 thirds "sleeved", sounds awesome, my videos wont work right on here, but will ok on the TVRclub forum where it is too.
.......Side exit in front of the rear tyres was too low

I'm not entirely sure either, but I'm sure if TVR designed them that way originally we'd all be here discussing how we're not sure about pipes that stick out the back!
It's all about familiarity, well done for sticking your neck out and trying something different.

Just a thought - would this help with measuring noise levels for a track - with half the noise going each side?

Just picked my car up,so not sure i should have an alternative opinion to the standard pipes.... but ill admit those are not too bad,i think as they are so different from the standard versions there will be a split division as to whether they are better or not,as originallity seems to be favoured..i think the chav label attributed on tvrcc is a little harsh as they are hardly big bore alternatives which seem to be the choice of the corsa/saxo brigade.... inovation is good,fair play for being different




I also have a drain pipe equiped impreza for my sins...

Have to say that as much as i usually prefer originality,i quite like thesesmileAs others have said,it's just a different style,and it's not as if it's pretending to be something it isn't,ie no extra pipes,or no silly bore size,so theres no hint of max power to me.
Thumbs up for doing itthumbup,i'd be really interested to know if it helps prevent getting exhaust fumes back into the cockpit?

I haven't read the chav comment. Does it refer to the fact that Griftwood's exhaust looks like 'legs splayed'?
