Dtm Style Exhaust

Recommended Posts

I had one on my last C that lasted 4 days of ownership, sadly the photos i have do not really show the exhaust in its full lack of glory. I actually still have the exhaust from stripping the car and am going to sell it once i have cut the sticky up ends off it.

 

My advise is that they don't really fit the rear bumper apperture, and do not really look that good.

ben16v yours look ok actually, the ones that look nasty are the huge bore twin upswept ones that go halfway up the bumper! Don't do it A9X SJ!

my car had a nasty scorpin dtm on it when i got it, so i removed the box, chopped off the dtm`s with a 9" angle grinder, and replaced them with two straight pieces of 3" polished stainless steel tube,,, much better now,, dtm was awfull came halfway up the bumper on a terrible angle,,

Had one already fitted on my fist valver- didn't look too bad (maybe a bit chavvy) but it knocked the whole time and was starting to melt the bumper! Changed it for an oval Magnex 8)

Here was mine - needles to say it was ditched within a week of buying the car, it was a full Scorpion system and actually quite quiet, just looked totally wrong

I've had these DTM type tail pipes for a few years and i like them, it blows smoke ring on a cold morning up past the rear window, it makes me smile and it's old skool type racing style and i'm one of the older members so i'm happy with it at the moment though i am interested in changing to a certain other style in the future.

It takes different strokes to make the scene, i like them but they were on when i bought the car so it's not that i chose to fit that type of zorst but happy with them anyway.
