Well, hopefully get my car back soon, and can't stand the look of the pea shooter out the back. Naturally, I want to avoid having an "exhaust trim" because they look tacky and, well, are just crap.
Are there many after market exhausts (talking back box only) out there for a 12v, as I know the tube sizing is different etc?!
I am 99.9% sure I have seen someone with a 1.2, have the 1.4 square exhaust tip, or even back box, put on their car. Are these available through any exhaust dealer, or would sourcing from a scrappy be best?
Any help would be great

you can use a normal aftermarket backbox most places can get hold of the adapter inserts for th 12v so thay fit

Got a sportex backbox on mine (yes, 1.0 12v  ), but I don't like having a bean can under my bumper so I'm looking for something nicer.

^^ Deffo would advise against this as the 1.0 12v and 1.2 16v ECU's are mapped around the backpressure in the exhaust system and a straight through can cause many things to go tits up.

lolz I wouldn't have a straight through anyway. Too much hassle when it comes to MOT etc.
I wouldn't even put a back box on but seen as exhaust trims are pretty wank, that is the only option.
