Cheap sporty exhaust... and I mean CHEAP!

[SyncroS8]

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.

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.
