I am after a decent exhaust for my sport that will mate up to my ashley manifold but don't know which one to choose.I have bought a piper one as i really like the tailpipe design but the exit looks naff imo.The rest of the fit is pretty good but i want the tailpipe to come out stright with the rear of the car not at a silly angle.I contacted piper and went down to collect a different back box which comes out at the right angle albeit way to low and over a bit.So to recap i would like the tailpipe design in the pics but not the silly angle of the first one.I have spoken to piper and they are willing to take it back as i am not happy with it and they are just down the road.I am not really bothered about stainless just a decent exhaust for reasonable money.

Mod one of those backboxes so it comes out at the angle you want? Chop it off at the box and add a bit of an S shape?

Havn't got any pipe benders mate but that could be an option.
My old mongoose system came out straight and in the correct place on a mk1 bumper...

You can get pre-bent sections if you're handy with the welder.

I'd just take your existing back box to an exhaust specialist & get them to mod the tailpipe.

jetex was the best exhaust i had it was the only one on the market with a oval tail pipe but it came out at the angle but sound the nuts when the 32 34 weber kicked in !!!!!!!! oooooooo i have a semi on !! lol
I used to love the angled exit my old Sr used to spit 6 foot flames in to the ditches and light up at night I think mk1 looks best with angled tail pipe but that's just me
custom exhaust place and tell them what you want
