JDM and UK exhausts, different shapes?

Post by nickyboy » Sun Aug 26, 2012 8:10 pm

I noticed my rear silencer is a bit skewiff, and i've seen others looking the same. Is the JDM cat a different length, or any other part, to UKDM?

In what way is your back box skew wiff ? because the N1 sticks out at an angle anyway...

We need pictures. Is yours standard or after market?

no, your pipes are closer together arent they? might just be my gay screen making it look different though as the bottom pic is really dark :lol:

my stock back box was much bigger than yours and my pipes were alot skinnier
