paulbin Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 ok people im really annoyed, i just brought myself a new twin tail pipe exhaust for my car, its a scorpion stainless steel one, anyway its for a GTi but its really crappy fitting, i dont know whether my brother has fit if right but the box sits about `1-2` inches off the ground and u can see most of it hanging down from the back bumper theres lost of room for it to sit up into the car but as soon as u push it up the rest of the tail pipe sits at an angle style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> im really annoyed, can any1 help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Lupo Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 hey mate - point one - loved your photoshop in previous months pvw - it was sweet. anyway, with regards to exhaust have a play with rubbers or gently move brackets in a vice. on t'other hand get on to scorpion to give them some crap, they might not be that generous though seeing as it's meant to be for gti - thats about the limit of my offerings - hope you work it out mate!

paulbin Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 thx for ur reply, thing is that the GTI exhaust fits onto the sport and the 2 exhausts are the same just different tail pipes, im sure someone will bring some light to my problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Lupo Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 erm....that might be a problem....time to feck around with the brackets then....you'll be surprsied what a big hammer and vice can achieve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Order a new set of exhaust mounts for it.If that doesnt cure it, then find a tyre and exhasut place with a modded car outside.Then see if he'll weld on another mount to the exhaust and body.

Red Lup Gti Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 would be highly suprised if it was the rubbers Andi! can only be brackets or the fixing were it goes onto the centre section, try moving that around to get it to fit better!

paulbin Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 im hoping that the garage next door to work can sort it out for me, im hoping it just needs lining up and the brackets sorting out, does anyone know how the DTM exhaust is supposed to sit near the bumper?

Loopy Lupo Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 er...didn't know scorpion did a dtm version? i guess it is supposed to mount up with about an inch to spare before battering the bumper - that was the case with my custom job!?

paulbin Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 the thing is my bloody brother cut the old exhaust of and i dont think there is enough on the centre section so it maybe the case that its sitting to far in, do u think a part of the old pipe can be welded back to the centre section?

Loopy Lupo Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 anything can be welded dude...even your brothers head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lup Gti Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 hahhaa, Vw in there wisedom fitted the back box and centre section as one piece and also fitted it before the rear beam (buggers) so you have to cut it off (did that make sense lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Ya you just need to sleave it mate.Any exhaust place will have a lenth you could buy for a couple of quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 yea i know wot u mean, fingers crossed it can be sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted January 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 i had one piece of sleave pipe with the exhaust but it seems the same size pipe that is on the centre section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Lupo Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 i still think that using part of your brother's scalp will solve all your problems. apparently skin is one of the best sealants known to man....according to my brother;....but he rides motorbikes and is a bit of a ****wit, so i'm not sure how reliable this info is!....seriously, all SENSIBLE info given on here is spot on imho.

paulbin Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 ok people, im confused heres the pics of the exhaust that the previous owner took border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />now in the first picture u can see and bend in the pipe at the rear does this go over the rear axel or just behind it? becuase if u goes over the axel the exhausts sits to far back. any 1 know how far the end pipes need to stick out?

Bikerz Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Andy did a GTI back box onto a sport and it doesnt quite seal properly and blows, ask him about it. dont even know if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Dude, Im sorry I didnt reply earlier but I had an emergancy and had to go out.Theexhaust fits under the rear axle.You can fit it one of two ways.Either cut the exhaust so you can fit the front section, then the rear section and sleve the join.This is the easiest way to do it.The other way would be to remove the rear axle, and fit the zaust and then `re-fit` the axle.Id do option 1.the good news is, that your exhaust isnt wrong style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbin Posted January 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 ok people, update on the exhaust, we had to cut more off the centre section as it was joining on a bend so forcing it to the floor, we lined it all up, the mounts didnt line straight up but we got it all on in the end, the back box fits nicely in the space the only problem is that it look like it needs to come out the back alittle more as the pipes are sitting halfway on the cutout of the exhaust, and also the bend that comes off the pipes that join to the box sits under the car and not beside the spare wheel. we also made up a bracket for one of the mounts as the VW one wasnt going to fit. Other than that it doesnt bang which is a plus i suppose, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
