Hello have been looking in to a new Catback system for a while and have come to a couple of systems I would want. The only problem is.. What do the tips sit like on the bumper.. The systems I'm looking at are...
The EuroJet system.

Or the Blueflame system...

My point after this is what do the tips sit like on the bumper or is down to fitment. I
Understand they might be bigger but do they sit central and with not
Silly gap around the tips and lower bumper.... Pictures would help.

It's all down to how they are fitted as to where they sit.
With the hangers (the rods that hold the end section in place) there's room for movement in every direction and the end section can be moved in an out front the central section a bit so you can have the tips flush with the rear valance or proud, what ever you fancy.
My old standard Zorst and how the tips looked...

And with my BCS system in place.....

Most aftermarket fit like that. You want twin 76mm++ up to around 90mm .
Stock pipes way too tiny IMHO.
