TCTA Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi, Recently purchased a Lupo GTI and i'm now in the process of tidying it up. One thing I wanted to tidy up was the twin pipes by possibly polishing them up. Has anyone ever done it or is it even worth doing? Also, The exhaust tips seem to be a little off centre. Can anyone tell me why that is? is it an easy fix? Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasperIrl Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 Mine are a little off centre as well, must just be the way it is. I'd also like to know if anyone has changed tips/tidied old ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Exhausts hang on, err, hangers by rubber mounts, they arent rigidly fixed: You can see the direction of travel on the hangers is left and right in relation to the tips on the one in the pic, so the tips will move in that direction and settle where they hang easiest. You can move the rubber along the hanger and then put a zip tie on behind it to stop it sliding back again. Or your rubber mounts are tired, either way zip ties all the way....

Blue Loop Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Are there any GTi's out there without zip ties holding the exhaust in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 yes. i welded my hangers back on and I find the rubbers to be quality. asides from when the backbox snapped off mine has been absolutely fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
