A single exhaust is fine and dandy for the breathless 2.2......but I think the V6 looks better with twin pipes. ::) ::) :)

It's 215 mm long so I'm concerned that too much will stick out. I'm guessing that only about the first 60 or 70 mm will cover the existing exhaust, leaving about four or five inches overhanging the rear bumper.

Any ideas, chaps?.  :y

You could always cut the end off your existing tailpipe, so that the trim will sit back further.  Might be a bit drastic though.

Personally I think it will look a bit cheap and nasty, but each to their own.  :y

I've got one on mine had to cut the pipe down, then when I fitted it I welded the clamp bolts in place so no thieving gits could get there hands on it :)

Double check the diameter of the tailpipe :y
