Title: Single exhaust tip
Post by: SurreyED30 on June 25, 2014, 09:56:02 pm: Any one got a single exit exhaust tip rather than the oem twin tips / miltek gt80

I know a oval exit would fit the valance better but never seen a single tip before on a mk5

The trim angles in bothe horizontal and vertical plain to mathe the rake and fall of the valence.

Post by: Spankiee on June 26, 2014, 04:00:30 pm: I was thinking this exact same thing the other day. I didn't dare create a post about it :grin:

Would a single round tip look daft? Like a diagonal slash cut so it matches the valance

Post by: Spankiee on June 26, 2014, 04:06:08 pm: No doubt I will get shot down here but I've always thought this sort of tip would look good. Obviously without the bazooka attached to it.

Post by: edd666999 on June 26, 2014, 04:15:44 pm: yeah single tip IMO will look stupid. Civics have ruined that look.
Title: Re: Single exhaust tip
Post by: SurreyED30 on June 26, 2014, 04:30:52 pm: I personally dont think it would look that bad, oval exit would be a better fit/look compared to a jap style dustbin :grin: :grin: :grin:

satin black too so it doesnt stand out to much

Post by: bushypad on June 26, 2014, 06:13:59 pm: What about the scirocco r twin oval tips. Why have one when you can have two. Just sayin :laugh:
Title: Re: Single exhaust tip
Post by: Spankiee on June 26, 2014, 07:13:39 pm: I just like think they look more aggressive.

No doubt I'll be going for the bcs 80mm twin tips anyway
Title: Re: Single exhaust tip
Post by: jreedy on June 26, 2014, 09:15:15 pm: I have a mk2 cupra 3" cobra exhaust for sale in the for sale section if a anyone's interested.

It will also fit a mk5 golf with slight mid to the tailpipe (it just needs shortening).... Any good exhaust building company will be able to sort it

It has a single 3.5" inward rolled slash cut tip..... Me personally I prefer a single tip to the twin set up!!

Diesel cars have ruined the twin look for me as every diesel has a twin tail pipe these days

Post by: Powervalve Nige on June 26, 2014, 09:21:33 pm: Next Gti we get in for a fit - we'll mock up the oval tail pipe trim...
Personally I think it should look quite good, and of course it gives us another option (...like we need more dooooh !)
Cheers
