tbh, i'd just have a bigger middle box and rear can with more baffles than bolt on half the Titanic on the back.

10kg extra weight over the back of the rear wheels, mind you, that could actually help in a corsa

Looks awful though sorry. Functional or not.

Surely there is a way of making it quieter without looking like that

Don't be sorry Daimo lol , I know it doesn't look good but it doesn't matter.

Replacing the centre silencer and rear silencer means I might aswell get a full new system made up, and at over £500 for a decent ones I just can't afford. The additional silencer that I've now got cost me less than a 'stick in' muffler silencer and can still be sold easily enough should I want to. So win win all round

Would it not of been more sensible to fit a larger centre silencer?

Why not just put more baffle in your existing silencer like a normal person?

Is it public track days or timed track days? You won't get on track with that for timed track days.

Who cares what it looks like, it's how functional it is. The extra weight is gonna give you more rear end grip maybe???

Like how you have a tow sticker but still have the cover over it!

At least if anyone tries to rear end you they will just get a melted bumper!

I thought that you was going to site that behind the bumper, removing the spare wheel well. How wrong i was

You have u2u

Should rotate it 90 degrees anticlock wise so it points straight up. Would look quality, especially spitting flames aswell.

Loads of people asking....'Why not........'

Im quite sure he's thought of many different possibilties, thus coming to the conclusion of this extra silencer.

Its quite a common adaption to a track car, as its QUICKLY AND EASILY REMOVABLE, and very effective.

Who cares what a track car looks like anyway? This aint a show 'n' shine for Lax Power magazine.
