CoxyLaad 0 Posted November 10, 2004 I need some help! I have just aquired an R32 exhaust (thanks mr Phat) for my project, and as everyone know the r32 has 2 tail pipes one either side of the car. so....these are the options open to me for bumper modification: 1. fill the factory exhaust recess and cut 2 round holes for the exhaust to poke out of. 2. fill the factory exhaust recess and cut 2 mouse hole in the skirting board type holes for the the exhaust to fit. 3. fit another factory recess on the other side and make them fit like a double standard style exhaust. I am fancying number 3 because I like the factory look, so is there any photoshoppers out there that cold help me find out what its going to look like be chopping in a factory recess with R32 pipe on the other side of a car? I have attached a picture for you to play with, but feel free to use your own pictures, or even your own imagination. If I cant get anything to look righ I will hide the exhaust altogether and smooth it over at the back. Thanks dudes Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigneil 0 Posted November 10, 2004 Look at John from JMR's car - 16VG60 has a Milltek with one either side Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 10, 2004 How about smoothing the entire bumper lower lip and fitting 2 round R32 recesses? If not that then option 3 gets my vote too as it will look stock. A rear on view would be better for chopping tho :wink: Will there be any clearance issues with the fuel tank? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted November 10, 2004 I have looked at an R32 rear end and I think that style on teh corrado will chavalise my car somewhat... I think option 3 too, but thats the only back end host I have of my car :roll: Fuel tanks wont be an issue as I am going a bit different on this front. The syncro fuel tank is tiny at 45 litres, I am getting some custom tanks made up that will be slung either side of the prop/exhaust under the passenger seats.

Jim 2 Posted November 11, 2004 3 sounds good to me! I'd chop it but i'm at work. If no one else can do it before evening time, then i'll have a go when I get home :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theRuler 0 Posted November 11, 2004 if you gotta do it, then run another stock recess. it'll look better that way (and it's half the work :D ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdubs 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Just as a quick note, I was informed about some excellent freeware software yesterday called GIMP. I took this programme home from work yesterday and it really is magic.. Graphic Image Manipulation Programme Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted November 11, 2004 I've got a photo of John's twin exit exhaust at home somewhere... I'll dig it out later, but it looks great! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted November 11, 2004 Just as a quick note, I was informed about some excellent freeware software yesterday called GIMP. I took this programme home from work yesterday and it really is magic.. Graphic Image Manipulation Programme Aye its the Open Source version of Photoshop - great for little jobs like photo manipulation. I'd use it (well, I do when I am in Linux) as I don't really use the heavy features of Photoshop, but i'm just too stuck in my ways ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
