Thinking about changing my tailpipe to a bigger one, or maybe a oval one.
Im only using a 2.5"tailpipe just now, and i think it looks a bit like a halfords stick on lol

Difference between 3" and 4" looks so much biger than it actually is, if you put them up next to each other i'd call the 3" 2's, does like nice and subtle'y big tho lol

it was a magnex, but it's a cat back system, so is slightly different..

doesn't come out stright like the backbox does :(

14-11-08, 01:10 PM

IMO, 2.5" - 3" is about as big as you should go on a Nova. Looking at the pictures that have been posted, Oli's, Dar's, Ste L's, Vaugnmc's, Benns, Will's etc look proportionally right for a Nova.

I don't know the specific dB of the exhaust, it passed the static noise test at Combe action day (100dB at 0.5metre AFAIK), but it's the inlet noise I have trouble with. The exhaust is quiet in comparison to the inlet!

no, was mine back in 2002. Sold with i think 59K on the clocks to a chap from Milngavie. Was on ebay with an XE not that long afterwords and last time I checked was sorn'd. Was a nice car but first son coming along coupled with an attempted theft meant it was time to sell up.. Nice GSi to have had though...
