I've been enjoying driving my S8 around for a while now but I can't hear the engine.
As other people have replaced the rear silencer with straight pipes, I thought I'd have a go myself.
2 x 55mm Stainless lengths with a 45o bend from ebay
Cheap 55mm stainless pipes
I've looked at tailpipes and I would end up spending another £25 on top so I decided to use the stock tailpipe.
Starting point...
Starting cutting...
No turning back now.
Pipes
They come with a flared end which slips over the stock size exhaust pipes.
First pipe tack welded to the tailpipe and checking on position etc.
Pipes welded up and ready to go on.
I added a hanger on top which sits into the stock mounts and clamped it down.
The result is a nice V8 burble.
It is a little boomy inside at around 1800-2000rpm but otherwise it's not too noisy and sounds lovely
The look is stock from outside.
Total cost, £47 plus a couple of hours welding and cutting.
