Default Exhaust tips

I'm looking at doing the exhaust on my Zetec and have found some great tips for the end. Was wondering what you guys/girls thought and if you'd recommend anything different.

Apart from the ones shown I could always just run a single pipe with a bit bigger tip. Have a look and let me know what you think.

i love the way the focus is designed so you cant see the exhaust tip at the back, one of the best things about the car if i had to choose, i guess the 2nd pic with the 2 twin tips

I think the far right, the single pair. Looks the most stock and the most believable.

Quads look good on a muscle car when you know they actually have the balls to warrant that much exhaust. The best Euro hot hatched (aka XR5 Turbo) these days only come with single pair and it look the lest rice, the classiest and won't look stupid.

If you had an Excel I'd recommend the quads... do the single pair, far right.

They are apparently off the Porsche 996 or 996 turbo, but I haven't been able to find a good pic to see if in fact they are.

Correct,

Its the new Michelin tyre spray. ''creates a rubbery film on you're alloy/moondish chrome rim which can be used as a tyre''

Apprently they overtook Dunlop's now stalled development for a "negative profile" tyre. Main problem that halted development of the Dunlop RBD-z is that postal services and newspaper companies world wide were worried that their rubber band suppliers would switch over to suppling rich tyre companies and leave newspapers unbounded and letters unsorted worldwide. With all this legal drama in the way of Dunlop, Michelin developed the spray which met the market's need and did not effect rubber band producers.

Michelin now have the whole market for their negative profile tyres with their tyre spray.

I was going to say....

They are plan jane rubber bands.

Which is handy as you can choose the colour of your tyres and change them daily
