Pete91 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 The one posted above looks pretty good. The one I had pictured in my mind was someone off here who had a red and black lupo. It was huge and looked good at shows etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt123roll Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I've never heard them called rain catchers :sAlways been referred to as upsweep exhaust or something similar, i personally think they look gash but thats my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatesy0093 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I like it. A can imagine it making a nice spluttery mist though in the morning after a good rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffin Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 I'm getting one done, what people do is drill a hole in the bottom to allow water to flow back out. They are also known as "Boso" style, just normally boso is a lot more extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JampotJamie Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 ive been thinking of doing this, my mate did it on his MK3 polo (with straight through pipe) it was loud and looked awesome you just get a bit of pipe and bend & weld/clamp it to the existing exhaust?

And I had to jack my car right up to drill the hole.. Is this one of those caps?! Sort if like a trucker has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
