    NEED HELP PLEASE!!! Involving exhaust sytem on my clio...want it to be dual like a V6

    Hi I have a slight problem.

     I've just gone and had a replica v6 wide arch body kit installed on my clio mk2 phase2 1.2 (lame inno) and then remembered there are to holes in the body kit for two tailpipes like on the V6's. However atm I have a crappy single exhaust that doesn't even breach the back bumper and looks and sounds like shit! Im new to the modding scene and could really use someone's advice on what to do now. How do I replace the current exhaust system for a twin tailpipe system on my clio so that it fits the holes provided on the body kit? If you don't understand what im trying to get it to look like then heres a pic:

    get a custom built exhaust

    exhausts uk in sheffield could do it

    or go to a powerflow dealer

    I agree, exhausts uk are good but you'll have to do away with your spare wheel, saves weight anyway!

    Yep Powerflow can give you what ever you're after & can tune the exhausts to your taste (quiet or loud).

    I hope you've got plans to ditch the 1.2 engine next?!

    Custom Chrome in Nuneaton are very very good, they are used by many in the rodding, modding and custom car scene.

     Its my first car and my dad is the managing director of Budget insurance so he knows all about pricing and won't let me have a bigger engine for my first banger. Its a hand-me-down from the older sis hence why im modding it to make it my own thing. As soon as I leave uni im gunna get either the current mustang or the 2009/10 chevy camaro! nice!

    Thats changing the car though. What sort of price am I looking at for an engine change? To a 1.4 or 1.6?

    You don't need to spend all that dough on changing your engine when its sometimes easier to just modify what you've got, change your sparks/leads/air intake etc etc first and then look at full exhaust systems and then I'd contact someone like K-TEC or similar about the next stage.

     It depends on what your after with your car though, I personally like my smaller 1.3 as I live in manchester and the chances of clocking up 100mph is so slim with the rozzers about I prefer the speed at the lights instead.

    Again personal opinion

    Absolouty...I totally agree with you there. I was never seriously considering doing an engine transplant, just wanted to know more about it, plus thats too much of a big deal and too expensive for a one off job. What you suggest is far easier I guess and I have already begun doing so.

    Aah we shame the same problem my friend...I live in Stamford (if you've even heard of it) near Peterborough and its just country lanes and narrow streets! Sucks to be me. And there not the kinda country lanes you can do any sort of excess on. I swear Stamford's finest are tightest coppers in the bloody country!

    Why do you keep asking us how much stuff will cost?! 

    Just do what everyone else does & ask the relevant places for a quote & find out that way!

    i asked once about the body kit...cos i don't know any decent garages where i live...so someone who does know one may be able to give me a rough idea. as for the price of the exhaust kit...i asked that after laz told me to get a quote becuase he was too quick for me a replied on here to the same post on another thread. i just moved the post to here hence why it is after his advice. so yeah 2 times, one being by mistake. but ok point taken, sorry.
